- Glasgow Vineyard Church: Storehouse Food Bank - 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. The aim is to give the assurance of food to those in greatest need.

Teas/coffees and hot meal also form part of the drop in service.
- Queen's Park Parish Church Foodbank - Tuesdays, 10am - noon. Supplies a non-perishable food parcel with enough food for three days for those in need
- AFECC Food Bank - At AFECC we recognise that our duty of care to the public extends way beyond the Muslim community, rather it encompasses the community as a whole. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) once said: “A man is not a believer who fills his stomach while his neighbour is hungry.” We feel this perfectly portrays our values as an institution and it’s precisely why we launched our food bank in 2015.
Community Pantries
- Govanhill Community Pantry - We’ve started raising funds to create a Community Pantry in Govanhill to tackle local food inequality. Our Pantry will be a dignified alternative to food banks, providing affordable and nutritious food in one of the most socially deprived areas of Glasgow. It will be housed in Govanhill Baths when it reopens as a Health & Wellbeing Centre. Food banks only offer short-term occasional support. But our Pantry will give ongoing and sustainable help directly for those facing food insecurity.
- Parkhead Pantry (inc Shettleston)
Dennistoun
- The Everlasting Foodbank - The Everlasting Foodbank was founded in Glasgow in 2014 by treasurer and Pastor of the Everlasting Arms Ministries Church in Dennistoun. The Everlasting Foodbank is a Christian Organisation that aims to serve the community of Dennistoun and beyond by providing food to those in need. Although we are a foodbank we believe that, “man cannot live by bread alone” (Matthew 4:4). That's why our goal isn't just to feed people for a day but to give them the confidence and encouragement they need to prosper every day.
