IMC Community Fridge first started in 2021 to provide food the local community who were most in need. Based in Springvale Street, Saltcoats we are in the heart of the local community where many are facing food insecurities for a number of reasons. Dignified access to nutritious food is our main priority and meeting the needs of the local community.
Description
IMC Community Fridge is applying for £1000 for the purchase of amibient and chilled foods to ensure good stock levels during the depths of winter. Many people on prepayment meters have to choose whether to heat or eat and we want to enusre that our community can do both where possible.
£1000 will allow for £100 to be spent per week for a 10 week period to provide soups, ready meals and other tinned produce.
We anticipate that approx 30 household will benefit per week from this provision.
Location: Saltcoats sits high in the SIMD index and therefore people face hardhships that lead to poorer health outcomes and increased levels of poverty. This project was established with the sole aim of improving outcomes for both health and finance for local households. The Project is joinign The Fairer Food Network within North Ayrshrie as a community food porivder serving the heart of its local community.
