Edinburgh Food Project runs seven foodbanks, registered with the Trussell Trust, across Edinburgh. These foodbanks provide people with emergency food provision that covers three square meals for three days. We do a lot more to support our clients than just provide food. We also provide a range of support for people including housing and employment, and operate our own Money Advice Service.
