Lots of updates and thank you messages are coming soon for what was undoubtedly the most successful Renfrewshire Food Giveaway yet. But our work continues—Renfrewshire Food Giveaway isn’t just for Christmas. We’ve been out this week, and our support goes on throughout the year. If you’re interested in helping regularly, here’s what our wonderful charity does.

StreetCare Volunteers (reg SC052348) is a registered charity dedicated to supporting homeless individuals, rough sleepers, and hostel residents across Glasgow and surrounding areas. Every week, our volunteers reach around 50 people facing homelessness on the streets of Glasgow.

We operate in two main ways:

1. The T-Walk

Once a week, all year round, a small team of volunteers walks a set route through the city centre, seeking out those in need. Drawing on years of experience, we know where to go and what’s needed. We distribute hot and cold drinks, soup, sandwiches, “goodie bags,” clothing, and essential toiletries. We also offer information about other services and, just as importantly, a non-judgemental listening ear for anyone who wants to talk. Each week, about 50 people benefit from this outreach. Our mission is simple: to make a positive difference, one person at a time.

2. The T-Drop

Throughout the week, volunteers collect surplus food from stores such as Prêt, M\&S, Lidl, and Greggs—food that would otherwise go to waste. Volunteers (who need their own car) deliver these donations to hostels and shelters throughout the city and beyond. Currently, 16 hostels, accommodating around 520 residents, benefit from these deliveries. The impact is substantial: each year, StreetCare Volunteers distribute over £500,000 worth of food.

We have no paid staff, and volunteering is flexible—volunteers simply let coordinators know their availability for the coming month. There’s no obligation to commit to a set number of dates, and a friendly WhatsApp group keeps everyone informed and connected.

For more information, including how to join us, visit https://streetcarevolunteers.co.uk. Please feel free to share this with friends and family who might want to get involved—we’d love to hear from you!
