Dunfermline Foodbank in Cowdenbeath

02/11/2026

Tomorrow is our last day at our Cowdenbeath site and our merger will be going ahead the following week. Please see below all the information you need ❤️

🚨🚨We have some news to share that was announced last week. Our Cowdenbeath Foodbank will be merged with our Benarty Foodbank in early November🚨🚨

We remain very needed across these communities, but our current model is spreading our resources too thinly. We need to become smaller in structure in order to become stronger in delivery.

Merging of the sites is the best way to protect the future of our services for as long as we are needed.

Please direct any enquiries to our main office. Thank You

Halloween is done and dusted so it’s time to think Christmas!! 🎄🎅🏼

It can be the most wonderful time of year if you can afford all the fun & festivities, but not if your income doesn’t cover your essentials!

That’s when services like ourselves pick up the pieces. Our Christmas campaign has continued from last year to request gift vouchers we can pass out to give our clients the choice of picking something to gift or for their Christmas table, the simple gift of dignity can really mean a lot !

Please consider a donation if you can manage, Thank you!🫶🏻🎁

Lots of different donations received that will all go to help the communities in the area from the Alan Scott Legacy Fund in Cowdenbeath recently. A grand total of £500 which will make a big difference, thank you for your generosity ❤

Did you know that Universal Credit isn't set based on how much essentials cost?

No independent evidence. Just a political decision. And nobody is regularly checking it against the cost of essentials, like food, bills, and toiletries.

It's leaving millions of people without enough money to live on and forced to turn to food banks just to get by.

✋ It's time this changed.

We're calling on the UK Government to set an independent process for Universal Credit, one that looks at real costs and makes sure the support people receive matches up.
