ABOUT US
Helensburgh & Lomond Foodbank is an independent Foodbank run entirely by volunteers. All of the food we issue is donated by the local community and shared with those in need within the local community. We issue 35 to 40 bags of food every week to individuals and families experiencing food poverty in the Helensburgh & Lomond Area.
WHAT WE DO
Anyone who finds themselves in a crisis, without food or money to buy food, is welcome to drop-in at any of our Foodbank sessions, there is no need to obtain a referral from any other agency. Everyone who attends the Foodbank will be warmly welcomed and receive a bag of food, fruit and bakery. We can also signpost those attending to support agencies who will be able to provide further advice or support on welfare benefits, debt, housing, homelessness, addiction services and other issues.
WHAT WE NEED
Monthly Notices will appear on our website and Facebook page. (Click on Image Above)
