Why We’re Needed
Food poverty is on the increase in Moray. Moray Food Plus is working hard to support people who through no fault of their own find themselves in crisis. Reasons for this are varied but include changes in personal circumstances, illness, welfare reform, low income, and unexpected bills.
Support available
The crisis service works on a referral basis from agencies such as social work, housing and health; please contact us for more information. Once a referral is received a team of volunteers make up a food parcel containing three days’ worth of food - we can also supply pet and baby food on request. In exceptional circumstances, or for remote locations, we can deliver to people’s houses; we can also deliver to a referrer, an agreed collection point, or parcels can be collected from the office.
Volunteers usually work a couple of hours a day, 1 or 2 days per week but we can also accommodate you if you only want to volunteer now and again. Opportunities include making up referrals, sorting food, stacking shelves, helping at collection drives, driving, helping at community meals, and supporting our work at The Bosie.
