ALDI CUPAR

The foodbank provides emergency food to those in need in times of crisis. We provide a minimum of three days' nutritionally balanced, tinned and dried food donated by the local community. We also provide toiletries, domestic cleaning products and pet food. Clients have to be referred to access the Foodbank. This can be done through a variety of agencies ie Housing, Social Work, CARF, Doctors, Health Visitors, Schools, Fife Voluntary Action, Local Support Groups etc. Our opening hours are as follows: Monday 11-3pm, Wednesday 4-6pm, Friday 11-3pm and 5-6pm. In addition we provide a listening ear to people with complex issues, signposting them where necessary to various support agencies, thus offering a hand up and not just a hand out.

The church’s purposes (“the purposes”) are the advancement of the christian faith primarily in Buckhaven. Our project The Safe Haven Community Cafe and Food Distribution operate from the church premises - we have two large halls we use. We identify service users as those recovering but also still coping with drug and alcohol abuse; single parent and full families etc. and homeless persons. We also provide washing facilities, shower, washing machine etc. There is no charge for any of our services. We offer hot meals twice weekly over and above tea/coffee rolls, cake etc. We are supplied weekly by Fareshare mainly for the Food Distribution. Photographs could be available with the consent of the users. I am part of a Community Cafe Network which covers all Community Cafes in our area. A reference could be available from Mrs Cassie Marshall who co-ordinates the Network and works with the Trussell Trust Levenmouth Foodbank. Our social media link is on the Church Facebook page and we are in the process of setting up a designated page for the Cafe and Food Distribution,

Cupar Community Fridge helps cut food waste, addresses food insecurity, and builds stronger bonds within Cupar's community by redistributing good quality food to the residents of North East Fife. Our Community Fridge redistributes good quality surplus food from local businesses - such as Aldi, The Cooperative and Lidl. The community fridge can be accessed every Tuesday (10.30-11.30am) from County Buildings, St Catherine Street, KY15 4TA Everyone is welcome to come and take food from the community fridge!
