Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries is a Christian organisation serving local communities in Glasgow. We are embarking on a food bank programme with support from institutions like yours because we know alone we may not be able to meet the growing demands of the people we are already reaching and many more coming through our doors. Our aim is to serve items such as soup, rolls and/or sandwiches on Sunday morning, in addition to grocery items such as tinned foods, and other non-perishable items to families who can't afford these items as a result of financial hardship or benefit cuts Premises for our Project operation We are located at 331 Charles St, Glasgow G21 2QA where weekly Sunday meetings are held from 10 am and Friday meetings 6pm . How we identify service users and their needs The church set up a Welfare Committee, saddled with the responsibility of screening and identifying people in need especially the less privileged ones.

EWfC's vision is to see Scotland as an inclusive and equal place where all women are cherished, empowered and are credited as active citizens. In realising the support gaps and unique needs of diverse women and their families, EWfC provides opportunities for essentials to support BME families, education, awareness creation of rights and skills development.

We run two projects under the banner of The Everlasting Foodbank. Our foodbank is for people to receive emergency food in times of crisis or need. We also give people clothing, toiletries and a friendly face to chat with. Alongside food we encourage people to sit with us and chat over some coffee/tea and buiscuits. Sometimes we find that we can be the only people that someone talks to that day. We have been well supported by the local community who find us to be reassuringly approachable. Up to today we have fed over 1600 people after opening for just about 4 years. The hope and aim is to be able to be a resource for the community and help people with their immediate need but also help them to recover from their current crisis situation. We have recently launched a community cafe. This helps people in need (those who would qualify to use the foodbank) with free hot food made by our team of volunteer chefs. There is encouragement of socialising between cafe users and similar to the foodbank we have people who will sit and talk with users. The cafe provides job experience for those who use the foodbank by letting them volunteer in the cafe itself. This greatly helps to move people from reliance on foodbanks to get back into work. Alongside the cafe we also provide a one-to-one drop-in centre for help and signposting.
