North Ayrshire Foodbank are in need of urgent donations for emergency food parcels.
As well as having donation points via a host of local supermarkets, a Foodbank donations drop-off cart has been re-established on the ground floor of Cunninghame House at the main entrance (Marress House side).

Stay tuned to News In Brief for updates as the North Ayrshire Foodbank team will soon be visiting Cunninghame House to spread the word further.
The items currently required by North Ayrshire Foodbank are:
- Long life fruit juice and milk
- Jam and marmalade
- Microwave rice pouches

- Tinned items including custard, fruit and vegetables, beans, canned meats, spaghetti, stews, soups and peas
Unlike the Foodbank providing emergency food provision, North Ayrshire’s Fairer Food network of 16 community larders can support residents facing food insecurity via a membership scheme where members can access their weekly grocery shopping at a subsidised cost.
Find out more about the larder network (including opening times and locations) via the dedicated webpage.
The Foodbank team will be visiting ground floor Cunninghame House on Tuesday 20 May from 11am until 12.30pm, staff are encouraged to drop by to find out more about the support they provide and donations required.
One in five people in the UK now live below the poverty line. North Ayrshire Foodbank is a project funded by local churches and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in our local area.
