Dundee Foodbank prepares nutritionally balanced food parcels and gives them to members of our community in crisis. These parcels are carefully designed to support an individual, couple or family for three days and assist them through the personal crisis or hardship they are suffering. We understand that food crises can happen to anyone - and we also know how difficult it can be to consider visiting a foodbank. Our volunteers welcome those who come to our foodbank with compassion, kindness and a listening ear.

We are passionate reducing food waste in our local community. This is achieved by running both a community food larder and a zero waste cafe which both run from Dundee: Northeast @ Fintry building. Larder members can choose from a mix of 12 fresh, frozen and ambient items for a weekly fee of £2. In addition, larder members can also access surplus supermarket/bakers goods and sanitary projects for no additional cost.The zero waste offers food/hot drinks that would have been destined for landfill.

Saving waste is our aim. We are a charity trying to save food waste from going to landfill by picking up surplus & diverting back into the local community. We have a location at 5 High Street, Monifieth. DD5 4DA which houses fridges, freezer, shelves etc for safe food storage. We have a group of volunteers to man the fridge and also to collect the food from supermarkets etc. All volunteers are trained as per Environmental Health guidelines. There is a donation box but we do not charge for any food items. We have a Facebook page and we have had the local newspaper down on opening after relocating from smaller premises. We have received funds from Angus Council, Hubbub, Monifieth South Angus Church, Rotary Club of Monifieth & District, Seagreen, Northwood Charitable Trust, Tesco and Sainsbury’s. Alongside our fridge, within our premises we also run a small successful charity shop.
