The Ardrossan Church of the Nazarene operates across North Ayrshire assisting whole communities and individual households through its range of spiritual and social programmes. The social programmes include our gardening group at the church, our food growing project at various locations throughout the local authority. The cinema offers free big screen shows of the latest films at venues across the area. The Foodbank assists households on an authority wide basis as well as offering a local larder within Ardrossan itself. A new project is called "Community food exchange" whereby households can put food into our shop location swell as take any food they see (collected from our supporting supermarkets). We run a children's anti-hunger programme which has two programmes. One brings children together and is called "Make a meal of it" and the other is outreach work and is called "Junior chef (we provide ingredients, recipes and support to cook meals at home).

We are a local food bank run by volunteers from Crosshouse Community Association, helping our local community by providing food help to anyone who needs it. We always ensure everyone is treated with the utmost dignity by not asking about their personal circumstances. Our volunteers also support those in the community who need advice to find out what benefits they may be entitled to and to provide them with assistance on finding and receiving support for their mental health.
