♥️ APPRECIATION POST🥫

This week we are very grateful to have received 2 wonderful donations.

It’s harvest week and the Irvine Valley Parish Church started our week with a great donation collected at their harvest service.

Our week ended with Darvel Primary School having collected a fab donation of 11 bags for harvest week.

We are always extremely grateful for any donations and it all helps to keep families fed.
Unfortunately due to the ever increasing cost of living the pressure is on and we see our service being needed for some time to come.

Again thank you for being so generous in your donations. ♥️

They can be dropped off at the Food Locker on a Monday night between 6 and 8 or Wednesday 1 till 3.

Thank you all once again in advance!
