A HUGE THANK YOU to all our supporters, TESCO customers, staff and friendly local people who went above and beyond to make an amazingly successful collection last Thurs-Sat!

Just over 1,600 kgs, one of our largest collections ever!

Our Volunteers did a phenomenal job, many stepping in at the last minute or covering extra shifts…

THANKS EVERYONE for making this happen! ♥️

Hello East Renfrewshire!

Come and visit us at TESCO Barrhead this weekend, 10am-4pm Thurs, Frid & Sat 24th-26th July for our Summer Collection!

If you’re able to put a tin or two into our collection baskets we’d really appreciate it, and if you can’t come say “Hi” anyway!

Since our early beginnings in 2013 we have served 3 days worth of meals to an equivalent total of 58,683 adults and children and East Renfrewshire Foodbank continues to serve people throughout the district with Foodbanks in Barrhead, Busby and Thornliebank. With low stock, we appreciate anything you can do to support us. Thank you! 😊

Thank you to all who have given so generously to ER Foodbank this season.
The folks who have been in today were able to choose a gift that was donated by our amazing supporters.
The team worked hard after hours to clear the donations away.
We appreciate the amazing, dedicated individuals.

Every person who has given is making a difference to individuals and families.
Thank You!

A Special Thanks to ARTHURLIE Football Club for all their support and encouragement over the recent years!

It’s that time of the year when we attempt to thank as many as we can for their amazing kindness and generosity as we approach the Christmas season (an impossible task but we’ll try our best!).

THANK YOU to all the team at Thomas & Adamson, Glasgow for their support! We wish you all the best for Christmas & the New Year and trust you’ll get some time for family and friends over the holidays.

We appreciate your support!

Hi folks!

We’re catching up on some deserved THANK YOU’s today!

Being part of a Community project allows you to meet a LOT of fantastic people who are making a difference in all sorts of ways.

TODAY we want to give a MASSIVE shout out to all the STAFF at the McDONALDS, Glasgow Rd, Barrhead who were super enthusiastic in doing a Mountain Climb at BEN VORLICH to raise funds for East Renfrewshire Foodbank!

They raised an amazing £1, 042.30

THANK YOU SO MUCH to the McDonald’s staff, a very positive and motivated team, and manager Scott Lafferty who did such a challenging fund-raiser for us and for their heart for community projects ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best wishes , East Renfrewshire Foodbank Team ♥️

We received a wonderful surprise this week…

An ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING donation of £1,619.83 !!! 🎉

This generous gift came from Our Lady of Missions Football Team who took it upon themselves to raise this huge donation for us.

THANK YOU OLM Football Club and friends for your phenomenal support. ♥️

East Renfrewshire Foodbank has never asked for money donations, only food that we can give to those in need, but over the years secret supporters and surprise donations like this have helped us in our work.

This fantastic donation will go huge way to buying food & toiletries for our most needed items.
