Aim

We work to support community organisations offering an emergency food service to food-insecure residents in Glasgow during the pandemic.

Food For Good Glasgow was set up at the very beginning of the Covid-19 crisis in order to support community organisations committed to serving the food insecure.

Food For Good Glasgow is a coalition of Glasgow Community Food Network, Glasgow Food Policy Partnership, Slow Food Glasgow, Strath Foodsharing and civil society volunteers.

We are supporting community organisations offering an emergency food service to food-insecure residents by:

• Mapping the needs and resources across the city
• Providing a buffer for existing public & community food organisations working on the front-line by safely preparing, storing and distributing meals that can be accessed in times of urgency   
• Coordinating extra food deliveries of fresh and dried food to community organisations and local emergency food providers
• Setting up collection hubs, placing food orders, recruiting drivers and organising transport/fuel costs
• Signposting organisations to other support agencies, food and health and safety information
• Working with other networks in the city to link up and streamline responses to the crisis

We want to resource organisations so they can continue to offer their much-needed services in a safe way to protect the public, volunteers and staff.
