West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare provides a one week emergency food parcel to local people in crisis. All food distributed is donated by the local community. We deliver support to the person's home address, supporting roughly 400 people per week. We also run a school uniform bank, a babybank, a fuel poverty project, school holiday brunch bags and a toy bank at Christmas to help families who are going through a difficult time. We work in partnership with local organisations to provide a holistic package of support to each person affected by poverty and food insecurity to maximise positive outcomes. We have a volunteer team of 55 who work across the week from our base in Dumbarton.
