Storehouse is a foodbank serving the most vulnerable people in our community of NE Fife.  Although the St Andrews area appears affluent, a report ‘End Child Poverty’ published in October found that when housing costs are taken into account, 24.8% of children in St Andrews are living in poverty.  This is the same as the figure for the whole of Fife.  The Below the Breadline report from June detailed that food prices have increased by 43.5% in 8 years, and fuel prices have risen 37% in 3 years.  They also highlighted that 20% of parents go without food so that their kids can eat on a regular basis.

Each food parcel will normally contain supplies for 2-3 days food, including items for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a few toiletries and household items, depending on what has been donated.
