Community Food Larder Launched in Glasgow to Support Local Residents
The motion
That the Parliament commends Wheatley Homes Glasgow and Good Food Scotland for joining forces to open a new community food larder in Glasgow’s south side; understands that the Kennishead Larder is open from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and that food items and household goods are discounted, offering support to residents during the cost of living crisis; recognises that, on top of providing space for Kennishead Larder, Wheatley Homes Glasgow has also pledged £10,000 for Good Food Scotland; understands that Pauline Gilgallon, from Good Food Scotland has remarked, “We are determined to help residents stretch their budgets further and avoid having to go without food, especially with the cost of living continuing to rise so rapidly...Our partnership with Wheatley Group is enabling us to offer that help in the form of affordable food and other essentials, right in the heart of the community”, and wishes all involved every success for the future.
