About Lochee Community Larder SCIO
Our charity is made up of a team of dedicated volunteers and our aims are to provide low-cost food and household essentials whilst reducing food waste. We run our services from a small shop unit in Lochee area of Dundee, which is considered to be an area of deprivation (SIMD, 2020). Many of our members struggle weekly to make ends meet and simply cannot afford to shop in supermarkets and still have money left over for household bills.
The idea of the larder is that members of the public can attend without referral or any questions asked and receive two bags consisting of: tinned & fresh foods; baked goods and cleaning & personal hygiene products. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw an unprecedented increase in demand for our services and as a charity, we have adapted quickly to keep up with this. The need for our service is now being increased further buy the cost-of-living crisis.
In addition to our food services, we also operate a social area where people can come together and enjoy some chat, a hot drink and get any support/advice needed from our volunteers.
