How to get a food parcel

Getting a food parcel

 

We provide food parcels to people in need in the Kirkcaldy area. This includes Bowhill and the Wemyss villages. If you live outside the Kirkcaldy area, you will find other local foodbanks which can help you.​

 

There are two ways you can get a food parcel from us:

​

1. Anyone in the Kirkcaldy area in need of food can self-refer to the foodbank by visiting one of our centres (except Link Living where a voucher is required). We provide food parcels for individuals, couples and families.

 

A volunteer will ask you for some information and you will be given food. You can visit the foodbank once a week for as long as required until your situation improves.

​

2. If another agency is providing you with support, they will probably be able to refer you to the foodbank. Most support services in the area can refer in this way (including social work, some health professionals and various voluntary organisations). If another agency is providing you with support, you should speak to them about a referral to the foodbank. They can provide you with a referral voucher that you can bring to one of our distribution points. A volunteer will provide you with a food parcel. They will also record the information that is on the referral voucher.

 

Unlike some other foodbanks, we do not have any limit on the number of food parcels you can receive.

​

You will find a list of our distribution points below.
