Concerns have been raised after North Ayrshire food bank announced it's to close on the day of the Queen's funeral.
The charity will close its doors on Monday after the organisation revealed that volunteers have requested the day off.
Officials say their main hub, at Ardrossan Church of the Nazarene, is typically staffed by one paid worker, who is supported by volunteers.
The charity has stated that some supporters have raised concerns over the closure but that the food bank can't operate with one member of staff and no volunteers.
With supermarkets also closed or operating on reduced hours, officials also anticipate that they won't be receiving donations on the day.
North Ayrshire Foodbank posted on Facebook: "Some of our supporters have raised concerns over our closure on Monday, September 19.
"North Ayrshire Council, who provide the majority of our clients with vouchers are closed on Monday, therefore no vouchers shall be issued.
"We are staffed by volunteers with 1 paid member of staff, our volunteers have requested the day off and as we have a lone working policy, we cannot have 1 member of staff with no colleagues for support.
"Supermarkets are closed which means we do not anticipate receiving donations.
"If anyone is still concerned about our closure on Monday we would invite offers to volunteer and our coordinator will facilitate this. If you would like to offer assistance, please get in touch before 2pm on Friday, September 16."
