02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We provide food to people in need in the Kirkcaldy area. However, we provide much more than food as we work closely with partner agencies so that those agencies can provide more specialist support to the people who need our help. Many of those agencies are located in the same buildings as we are, so that makes it much easier for people who come to us to access that additional support.
