That the Parliament commends the work of the Paisley-based community organisation, the Star Project, which has worked tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and for the last 22 years to support and build resilient communities in Renfrewshire; welcomes the launch of its latest initiative, Pantry Plus, which aims to tackle food insecurity by providing dignified access to healthy and affordable food; understands that, in just its first nine weeks, it has supported 145 people while also saving 7kg in plastic waste; notes that this project is in addition to its community fridge and pantry, which saw a 1,500% rise in engagement throughout the pandemic, and thanks all those who work and volunteer with the Star Project for the work that they do in supporting communities and families in Renfrewshire.
