As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak Ayrshire East Foodbank has restricted its service and relocated the main warehouse from Darvel to Kilmarnock. As of Monday 23rd<\/span>March. Existing foodbank distribution centres will close and we will move to a delivery model to reduce face to face contact between staff, volunteers and service users. A delivery model will also allow us to coordinate staff and volunteer work hours more effectively. Dates and times for delivery runs are as follows:<\/p>\n Cumnock, New Cumnock, <\/span>Auchinleck<\/span> and surrounding area<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Monday 2.30pm \u2013 4,30pm<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday 2.30pm \u2013 4.30pm<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Friday 2.30pm \u2013 4.30pm<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Additional deliveries will be supported as and when required dependant on driver availability. Saturday and Sunday deliveries may be introduced as demand increases.<\/p>\n Service users will be given a delivery date when they contact us and an am or pm slot.<\/span><\/p>\n ACCESSING FOODBANK SERVICES<\/span><\/p>\n During the current situation we will no longer be using the red voucher system as many of our referral partners have reduced or closed their services and we anticipate a rise in the number of people who self-refer and who would previously not engaged with services. We will continue to accept vouchers held by referral agents but will not issue any new vouchers as of Monday 23rd<\/span> March. Referral agents should continue to refer people who engage with their services however we will move to a \u201cDirect Contact\u201d system where requests for a foodbank parcel should be made using the following methods Name<\/p>\n Address<\/p>\n Contact No<\/p>\n Total number of people in household<\/p>\n Number of children in household<\/p>\n Age of all members of the household<\/p>\n Referrers name and contact details including organisation name, email and telephone number<\/p>\n CLIENT CONTACT INFORMATION<\/span> FOR SELF REFERAL<\/span><\/p>\n Email: <\/span>eastayrshirefoodbank@cvoea.co.uk<\/span><\/p>\n Telephone: 01563 574000<\/span><\/p>\n Facebook Private Message: Ayrshire East Foodbank<\/span><\/p>\n This information will be made available through social media and can be shared with service users.<\/p>\n Due to the anticipated high deman<\/span>d coupled with an increase in the number of self-referrals<\/span> and <\/span>the potential<\/span>lack of information from referrers we will be <\/span>using a new client registering system as of Monday. <\/span>As clients register they will be given a registration number and asked to provide <\/span>proof of name and address and<\/span>,<\/span> where requesting food provision for <\/span>children, proof<\/span> of parent \/ carer responsibilities<\/span> at their first delivery. Questions asked during the registration process will reflect the information in the foodbank vouchers which will allow us to record the demand and level of service provided. <\/span><\/p>\n As with many other services this is a new approach to delivery and we will review and amend the model as the situation changes. We will also monitor demand on a weekly basis and increase our opening hours in the areas where demand is highest.<\/p>\n PLEASE NOTE T<\/span>IMES AND DATES MAY CHANGE DEPENDANT ON DEMAND AND DRIVER AVAILABILTITY <\/span><\/p>\n Please share with your networks and thank you for your support.<\/p>\n Good morning everyone.
