Summary

Kilbirnie and Glengarnock Community Association are looking to provide fresh meat parcels to our community larder to help our members who maybe facing food poverty or hardship during this cost of living crisis.

Description

Our Commuinty Larder was set up to offer a top up shop which would help alleviate food insecurity as we moved out of lockdown. We have found since that there is a growing number of members who use our service as a main shop not a top-up due to the increased cost of living. Our proposal is for Kilbirnie and Glengarnock Community Association to purchase fresh meat packs from a local butcher and provide them to our larder members either free or at a vastly reduced rate as the cost of buying them themselves may be prohibitively expensice therefore lots of our members will not be getting the proper nutrition in their diet which ultimately long term affects their health and wellbeing. On average we have about 50 weekly members and it would be great for them to be able to have access to fresh, locally sourced meat which they may not get otherwise. We are asking for £1000 which would allow us to purchase 50 x £20 meat packs which would include a variety of meat that could be utilised on a number of meals for people on a low income.
