Help food-insecure individuals by donating supplies to CFINE.
Many individuals across Scotland are struggling to stay afloat due to the rising cost of living. With nearly 1 in 10 people in Scotland being in very deep poverty with incomes below 40% of the median. This includes members of our local community who are having to make difficult decisions between heating their homes or feeding their families. Together, we can help loosen the grip of poverty for families experiencing food insecurity
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 introduce people to CFINE’s wrap around support. Allowing us to work together to try and address the underlying issues of poverty, including money advice from our SAFE Team.
In 2025, 54,398 parcels were distributed from CFINE’s own food bank to people experiencing food insecurity across Aberdeen. This is higher than 43,850 in 2024, 38,205 in 2023 and 35,307 in 2022. Donations from people like you have become increasingly important as demand on our services continues to rise.
