The Evening Times' Food for Thought campaign is calling for a more co-ordinated approach to foodbanks and to remove the stigma attached to them.
We recognise that there are families in Glasgow and the rest of Scotland who have had no choice but to visit a foodbank.
Many have been plunged into poverty as a result of benefit sanctions, low pay or unforseen illness.
We have been campaigning to help raise awareness of food poverty and to make sure no one across the city is in any doubt as to where to turn if they need support.
Since we launched in May, people have come together across the city to help hungry people.
City institutions including Rangers Football Club, Partick Thistle and Glasgow Tigers have joined NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Glasgow Housing Association to collect food and do whatever they can to help people in poverty.
As well as David Hayman, actor Martin Compston, comedian Janey Godley and entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter.
Our campaign has also highlighted the huge amount of work carried out by volunteers.
