We collect food donations from supermarkets, churches and individuals throughout South Ayrshire and provide three days emergency food to people in crisis. Food is brought to our warehouse premises where our team of volunteers weigh and sort it into different types of food. Our volunteers then make up boxes of emergency food. Each box contains breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, coffee, sugar and snacks for 3 days. The boxes are nutritious and we also when available also provided toiletries. The boxes are then delivered to our 6 hubs across South Ayrshire where clients can collect them. We partner with other organisations who meet people on a day to day basis who require our help. They assess the client's situation and where necessary they issue one of our food vouchers to their clients. The client then takes their voucher to their nearest hub and collects their food. The volunteers at our hubs welcome clients and will often signpost them to other agencies where they have disclosed other issues.

We support families within the BB postcodes, offering various forms of help through pregnancy, birth and beyond. Founded in 2011 by Michelle Bromley. Snowdrop Doula Community Interest Company provides antenatal, birth and postnatal support in Lancashire. Working from various hubs, we provide continuous one to one and group support for families throughout the pregnancy and postnatal period. We work with other local services and organisations as and when needed.

The principal purpose of the food bank is the provision of emergency food assistance to people in need on low incomes or benefits. The food bank principally supports people in the Hyndburn Area.
