Campaign
Find out how we’re campaigning to support the local community and end the need for foodbanks in the UK, ensuring no one needs a foodbank to survive.
Guarantee our essentials
Hunger isn’t about a lack of food. It’s about a lack of income. Recent research shows that 1 in 6 people in Scotland experience hunger because they simply don’t have enough money.
When people are going without, it’s time to Guarantee Our Essentials. Our social security system, like our NHS, should be there for us all when we need it most, but right now it’s not even providing enough to cover the cost of life’s essentials and it’s pushing people to food banks.

Calling all ELFS!
ELFS ain't just for Christmas!
Our East Lothian Foodbank Supporters, our ELFS, make a difference to the lives of so many in our community ALL year round. They give us their time, donations, share our work and inspire us to do more.
Last Christmas we asked our ELFS to help us raise £10,000 and 10,000kg of food and essentials to support our community over winter. They did that and more helping us raise over £33,000 and nearly 15,000kg of food and essentials.
