HOW IT WORKS

Welcome to Kintyre Foodbank

We are group of 31 volunteers who are committed to helping those in our community who are facing food poverty. Our 'shopping' team make sure that our shelves, fridges and freezers are well stocked with everything we need to make up our parcels. We are also greatly supported by our local Tesco and Co-op stores with donations of surplus fresh produce like bread, vegetables and fruit.  Fareshare, one of the UK's  charitable food redistributors is very supportive by supplying good quality surplus food.


We work closely with health and social care providers in the area ensuring  that the food parcels are reaching those that need it most.

WHAT HAVE we BEEN DOING ?

WE MET THE KING!

WE MET THE KING!

Kintyre foodbank was honoured to meet HRH King Charles at a recent event in Campbeltown Town Hall. 


He was very interested in the work that we do and showed a good knowledge of what is involved in the day to day running of the Foodbank.


He encouraged us to continue to recruit volunteers and to keep up our good work. 

FUNDRAISING

WE MET THE KING!

We were very lucky to have been given a very large donation of brand new baby items and clothes.


 We took the opportunity to set up a stall and sell them at the local Agricultural Show. 


It was a huge success -  we raised our awareness within the community, had great fun and made lots of money too!
