FOOD BANK UPDATE

Carol, our Food Bank Coordinator has shared a wee update on our food stock this week, especially as we approach the summer holidays.

Her main message: a tin or two is sufficient to help someone in mind so every little donation helps.

Any tins of:
- Macaroni cheese
- Beans
- Meat
- Soup
- Sweetcorn

See the full list here: https://amzn.eu/0aRiPfyE

And feel free to buy from your local shop rather than Amazon - whatever is more convenient 💚

Donations can be dropped off at Royfold House, Hill of Rubislaw, Aberdeen, AB15 6GZ, Monday-Friday 9 AM to 4 PM.

Thank you ever so much 🙏🏼

URGENT FOOD APPEAL

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with our food appeal. We’ve given away around 100 food parcels already this month - the need is great 💔

Yet, our shelves are looking sparse as we need regular top-ups at the moment.

Main items currently needed are:

- Pasta sauce
- Tins of beans
- Tins of mince
- Soup
- Tins of tuna

See the full list here: https://amzn.eu/0aRiPfyE

If you can help, we’d really appreciate it.

Donations can be dropped off at Royfold House, Hill of Rubislaw, Aberdeen, AB15 6GZ, Monday-Friday 9 AM to 4 PM.

Thank you 🙏🏼
