Social Bite to deliver free food to vulnerable people all over Scotland

Social Bite has announced plans to provide free food to vulnerable people all over Scotland.

From tomorrow, he social enterprise will be delivering meals to the homeless, families with children entitled to free school meals and people who have been made redundant due to the coronavirus crisis with no immediate access to benefits.

Following the closure of its five cafes due to the outbreak, the kitchens and staff will be entirely re-deployed to produce and deliver 3000 food and supply packs every day to those "who need them most" for the duration of this outbreak.

Social Bite have so far raised more thann £8000 of its £100,000 target to launch the new service. Donate on Just Giving.

Co-founder Joshua Littlejohn said: "The homeless and vulnerable people we support on a daily basis will be the worst affected by this crisis. Imagine being homeless, having no option to self isolate or stock up on supplies, with many support services you were relying on closing down.

"Alongside homeless people there will be thousands more people who end up in food poverty, families who were relying on free school meals and those who have just been made redundant due to the crisis."
