Storehouse Food Bank

About Storehouse

Storehouse is a practical service set up by Glasgow Vineyard to meet the immediate and long term needs of those who are destitute in the North and West of Glasgow, with a specific focus on Drumchapel, Knightswood, Anniesland and the surrounding areas. We aim to give the assurance of food to those in greatest need. Storehouse food bank gives out food and toiletries hampers every Saturday morning (10.00 – 12.00) from the Vineyard Centre, Linden Street, in Anniesland.

The food and toiletries for Storehouse are donated to us by church members, friends, family, members of the public and local businesses, including Morrisons at Anniesland and Fareshare. Food makes up the bulk of the support we give, however, importantly, we also include essentials for sanitation such as dental care, as well as nappies and formula for babies. We want to ensure that all are guaranteed the basic items for health and hygiene.

Storehouse Food Bank is a Compassion Project of Glasgow Vineyard Church.

Our response during the Covid-19 Crisis and beyond

The covid-19 crisis presented considerable challenges to the operation of an essential service, such as Storehouse Food Bank. We worked hard to ensure that we were able to provide food and essential toiletries to those in greatest need in ways which protected our clients and volunteers and operate throughout the pandemic providing food to those in need from our base in Anniesland.

To meet these challenges we adapted the ways in which we did things and also found ways of overcoming new technical and logistical issues.

We working hard to to return to doing the things we did before Covid hit: including spending more time with our clients, one to one, signposting and helping those with issues beyond the need for food. To do this we need to regrow our volunteer teams and make changes to the building.
