Langs has an emergency food cupboard at their main site in Preston and at the North Dumfries Satellite Site. The food cupboards are intended for emergency use only and carry a small supply of non-perishable food items. Families/individuals requesting access to the food cupboards are encouraged to use their local Food Bank first when possible. Donations of non-perishable food items are welcome.

The bus leaves at 9:30am and returns approx. 1.5-2 hours later. Please contact Tammy Saunders for more info on Langs transportation. Note: Advance registration is required with the Food Bank to access their services and ID will be required upon arrival at their site.
