About Us

West Lothian Foodbank has been providing emergency food parcels to those in the community most in need since 2012. West Lothian Foodbank is a local organisation which collaborates with people across the county, supporting anyone who doesn’t have enough money to afford the essentials. We provide emergency food to those who are hungry or at risk of hunger. We make time for a cup of tea, treating people with dignity and connecting them to the wider support they need to address the underlying causes of their crisis. We collaborate with our partners, bringing services to where people need them in their community. We are part of the Trussell network. Together we share a vision for a UK where everyone has the basic essentials to survive.
