information SERVICE DETAILS

Foodbank+ at Bruntsfield (previously known as Basics Bank) is a ministry we run to try and help people in crisis in our city and local area. People are referred to us by various agencies and support teams and God gives us the glorious opportunity to provide food for them, build relationships with them, share our lives and the love of Jesus. It is a great privilege to be able to serve others like this and it connects us with people we would never meet in a church service.

Foodbank+ is run in partnership with Edinburgh City Mission, who help us with referrals and assist us on Friday mornings. Local churches, supermarkets and community groups serve us faithfully in providing supplies of tinned & dry food and toiletries. We are also supported by donations of fresh food through Cyrenians Fareshare and Waitrose.

If you have questions, please email manager@bruntsfield.org.uk, or just pop in for a coffee with us any Friday between 10:00am and 1:00pm.

Edinburgh City Mission operates a referral-only service from a large network of local agencies. This ensures that help is given to those with genuine needs.
