Emergency Food Provision in Maryhill and Springburn
Foodbanks and other similar providers can provide emergency food for a few days. If you are struggling, there are a number of people who can help. Find out more at this Scottish Government website https://costofliving.campaign.gov.scot/
Many of the services listed on this page are ran by volunteers. The services rely on their time, and donations from the community to operate. I thank everyone who helps ensure these services are available.
