How you can support us?
We are very grateful for the generosity people have shown, particularly at this time, to ensure we can continue to serve our community through this ministry.
EK Community Food Bank operates completely on the donations of individuals from the churches in East Kilbride and the local community. We are blessed to have good partnerships with local supermarkets who also support the Food Bank and other local businesses who support at different times.
Donations of Food
We will accept donations of any non-perishable food items, toiletries & cleaning products. Below is a list of items we regularly run low on:
Donations of non-perishable food items can be dropped off at any of the locations listed below:
Donations of Household items & Clothes
We will accept donations of small household goods that are still in good working condition, and adult and children's clothing that are still in good condition.
Donations of good condition adult and children's clothing can be dropped off at Calderwood Baptist Church during their drop in on Wednesday between 11am and 1pm or at Hunter House Coffee Shop from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 4pm.
If you wish to donate larger household goods please contact Karen Dornan to arrange collection on 01355 247660.
Supporting Financially
There are hundreds of people every month who use our Food Bank because they have no other means of getting food for themselves and their family. People from all walks of life are using our Food Bank and as a church we want to do all we can to support those in need. £15.00 can buy a large bag of food and a hygiene bag for one of our users and it is now really simple to donate to the EK Community Food Bank, please feel free to give as much or as little as you can manage
