🏠 STARTER PACKS – HELP WITH SETTING UP A HOME

Setting up a home can be expensive, especially when you're starting with very little. Our Starter Pack scheme is here to help people across Mid Argyll who need support with essential household items.

Starter Packs may be available for people who are:

🏡 Moving on from homelessness or temporary accommodation
🗝️ Setting up a home with limited resources
🧳 Fleeing domestic abuse or an unsafe situation
📦 Leaving care
🛒 Experiencing financial hardship

How to access a Starter Pack

Our Starter Packs are provided by referral through recognised local organisations and support services.

If you're supporting someone who could benefit, please get in touch with the MOMA Food Share Hub to make a referral. We'll assess what's needed, prepare the appropriate pack and arrange collection.

Where appropriate, we can also arrange a referral to our friends at the Community Shop for a voucher towards additional household essentials.

🔒 We only collect the information needed to process the referral, and personal information is handled securely and confidentially.

📲Referrals to [email protected]

🏠 A little practical support can make a big difference when you're starting again.
