Stepping Stones Community Larder hopes everyone is safe and is getting through this awful stormy weather.
Hopefully tomorrow brings a reprieve where you can visit the larder and stock up before the next storm due on Tuesday.

Know that we are always working and planning behind the scenes even if we are not open.
We have a tremendous variety of food available and you can now shop up to x3 times per week during these winter months, to help stock up.

If anyone is using a prepayment meter for gas/electric and is struggling to top it up, we are partnered with Home Energy Scotland who may be able to assist - dont be afraid to ask.

A rather quiet Monday today so the perfect chance to get stuck in for a tidy and sort out.

Lots of plans for the coming months, but for now, we hope you will enjoy visiting your local community larder and making use of the excellent amount of recent donations.

Wednesday looks to be a good day with the FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland delivery due in as well as the regular supermarket collections!!

Have a browse below 👇you may think it is the same as always but a great deal of sorting goes i to this each time I stay late. Zoom in for best details. (Details captioned)

We hope to see you;

What a couple of weeks for Stepping Stones!

We haven't had a moment to stop with the Harvest collections, the official visits, general collections, the redirection of food, store deliveries, recycling and so on....

Many thanks to;
💚 Crossmichael Parish church
💚 Castle Douglas Parish church
💚 St Ninians Church
💚 Glenkens Parishes
💚 Castle Douglas primary school
💚 Springholm Primary school
For your harvest contributions, it is much appreciated and will be well used.

As always, thank you to our regular customer donations and in-store donations from The Co-Op Castle Douglas, Tesco Castle Douglas and Aldi Castle Douglas ❤️

Leanne & Chris both visited Springholm Primary and Castle Douglas primary to discuss Stepping Stones, what we do and why, and gratefully receive donations.

The Dumfries and Galloway Council showcase video has proven popular, and we have answered enquiries and signed up new members as a result!

We have managed to redistribute over 200kg of foods otherwise destined to landfill last week alone, to 2 local animal organisations, as well as provide a table outside for anyone passing to access, which helps us . This is a huge timely operation but something we are very proud of.

Our weekly visits are growing and operations are very fast paced at the moment - it is worth taking a minute to thank the volunteers for the sheer amount of effort, hard and often heavy work, and time they dedicate to our cause - we have something very special within our .

Hi everyone!!

Thanks to all who popped in yesterday, you probably witnessed just how busy we were and how hard the stock volunteers were working - we had 2 fantastic donations for harvest, with thanks to CD Parish and St Ninians Church, we were blown away!! 💖

Also thanks to Hayton Coulthard for another great donation they dropped off - our larder is positively bursting!!

We are still working through everything so Wednesday will be a busy day in the stock area so please be patient with us. We are due a FareShare Glasgow and the West of Scotland also so full steam ahead!! I am very grateful to the volunteers who will assist our larder in these tasks for our valued members.

It is - head over to Dumfries and Galloway Council page for daily updates....maybe you will spot our larder at some point 🕵‍♂️
