One of the most extensive food bank networks has been established to help the people of North Lanarkshire fight hunger. While nothing may completely eradicate shortages in every household, these food distribution charities are making a huge dent in a growing problem.
Each service has rules that govern the amount of food that is handed out to each resident. There are also helpful stipulations that ensure that those who need additional help beyond simple food aid get the social services assistance that they really need. A simple voucher system is commonly used to make sure that each resident has been referred from a local care professional or agency.
In order to find out what is required to obtain assistance, most organisations recommend that a person call in advance rather than drop in. This ensures that they understand the requirements to receive aid. It also is a good idea, since most locations are only open for a few hours on certain days.
Basics Food Bank is administered by volunteers who believe in taking a Christian approach to helping others. They give a few hours each week to the cause so that others may get food when they are hungry. In December 2014, the organisation received six tonnes of donated food items, making this one of the most widely supported aid organisations in North Lanarkshire.
Trussell Trust is a national charity that supports food charities locally. They partner with local affiliates who encourage donations and then distribute the aid to those who need it. The Airdrie Foodbank provides aid through a couple of distribution centres.
These are the distribution points located throughout North Lanarkshire.
