CFINE is running extremely low on food donations to include in emergency food parcels. The charity is struggling to keep up with the increased demand for services and urgently needs food donations.
CFINE is a local charity whose core purpose and aims are to improve health and wellbeing and the environment, tackle poverty and build resilience for and with disadvantaged, vulnerable, low-income individuals, families, and communities in North East Scotland. To achieve this, CFINE delivers a wide range of support services. This includes access to food, inclusion and skills development, improving financial education and wellbeing.
A significant part of the food that makes up our emergency food parcels comes from donations. This is why there is an urgent appeal to local businesses to organise food drives, set up a fundraiser or donate directly to CFINE. With your donations, CFINE will be able to continue supporting those experiencing poverty in the local community.
CFINE urgently needs donations of:
- Tinned meat and meals
- Tinned beans
- Tinned fish
- Pasta
- Rice
- Cereal
- Jars of pasta sauce
- Toiletries
- Pet food
The food that you donate will go directly to people through emergency food parcels. Helping people with access to food will not only address the immediate need but also introduce people to CFINE’s wrap-around support. Allowing the charity to work together to try and address the underlying issues of poverty, including money advice from its SAFE Team.
