Sad story 😔
Crookston community groups chairperson Nasreen was in tears when she was told about this foodbank delivery
Case Study (Toryglen)
We received a foodbank referral from Home Start to deliver an emergency food parcel to a young
single mother with 3 children. The mother requested toiletries if possible and size 6 nappies which
were included into the parcel. Our volunteers delivered this food parcel to the mother and her
children. Upon arrival to the tenement flat in Toryglen the volunteer was met at the door by her
three children under the age of 5. When our volunteer got back to the office, she was visibly
distressed and upset. After speaking to her for some time she explained that, when the “bits of
wains” (her three children) answered the door they were so overjoyed to see her. The volunteer
expressed the children went straight into the bag to see what they had been given. Of all the items
within the bags the children were jumping for joy and shouting with excitement to see “toilet rolls”.
Our volunteer was in sheer disbelief with what she had witnessed and said she felt so over whelmed
with their happiness on their little faces to see toilet rolls. She felt uncomfortable as she didn’t know
what to say.
This incident clearly displays that there is still very much a greater need for foodbank services
Glasgow wide during this COVID-19 pandemic.
