Drumchapel Foodbank provides assistance to those in the area who have found themselves in a financial crisis. Those affected include people who have faced a sudden loss of income or have had sanctions imposed on their welfare benefits.

Kenny Macdonald, manager of Drumchapel Living is for Everyone (LIFE), said: “An increasing number of people need support from Drumchapel Foodbank and at times our stocks have run low.

“We ask you to consider helping us out with a donation, however small or large, of food and essential items.

“Without the ongoing goodwill of people making donations, the foodbank would not be able to support people in serious need.” Items required include cereal, pasta, tinned meat and meals, toilet roll, tinned baby food and nappies.

Donations can be made at numerous locations including Sainbury’s Drumchapel, Wheel Fix It, Drumchapel St Andrews, St Mark’s Church and Drumchapel Family Learning Centre.

Alternatively donations can be made directly at KCEDG Main Reception, Unit 9, Ladyloan Place, Drumchapel, G15 8LB.

Anyone looking for more information on how to donate should phone Oonagh Brown, food development worker, on 07974 531252 or email:
