DBC Community Pantry & Drop in Cafe
2024-12-10 • No comments • • Community Budgeting Phase 7
We are applying for £500 to purchase food for our community pantry which is currently supporting up to 150 people/families every week. Our drop in cafe offers a free two course hot meal cooked fresh on our premises. Over the winter we are a warm hub for families who are struggling to heat their homes and also feed their children. We provide vochers for warm clothing along with gas and electricity support for vulnerable adults and families. The additional £2000 will enable us to support more families within West Dunbartonshire and continue to provide a warm safe place for our clients.
The Recycle Room
2024-12-09 • No comments • • Community Budgeting Phase 7
The Recycle Room is a community organisation based in Clydebank that accepts donations of clothes, household items, school uniforms etc. which are then made available, for free, to people in the community who need them.
We make bundles for people who are moving into new homes that include things like plates, mugs, slow cookers, utensils, curtains, lamps etc which they otherwise may not have been able to afford.
We help a lot of vulnerable people in the community who are experiencing poverty and food insecurity, however we don't have the facilities to make food or give food away and therefore would like to apply for £1000, £500 of which would go towards purchasing Farmfoods vouchers and £500 would be for admin costs associated with giving the vouchers out. We see so many families each week who require this kind of support in addition to the support we already give and this funding would help us address this.
