Christmas Goodies Appeal – A Little Help Goes a Long Way! 🎁🎄

We’re starting to think ahead to Christmas at the food bank and as usual will be putting together bags of Christmas goodies to bring a bit of extra festive cheer to the people we support. ❤️

If you’d like to help by donating some Christmas treats, we’d be incredibly grateful! 🎅🏼

A little note about donations: As St Ninian’s is currently closed, and whilst we’re operating from a temporary portacabin, we unfortunately don’t have the space to store donations just yet. So, if you’re thinking of picking up a few Christmas goodies for us, please do hold on to them for now! We’ll put out another post nearer the time when we’re ready to receive donations. 😊

We’re also thankful that, at the moment, we have fewer families with children to support, but we have a few single adults who would really appreciate some festive treats too. So, whilst selection boxes are always lovely, we’d be especially grateful for Christmas goodies suitable for adults as well – things like biscuits, chocolates, mince pies, Christmas puddings, festive snacks and other little treats. Ladies and gents toiletries are always most welcome too🎄🍫

Every donation, big or small, helps us make Christmas feel a little more special for someone, and we’re so grateful for the kindness and generosity of our local community. ❤️

For now, please just spread the word and keep us in mind – we’ll let you know when we’re ready to receive donations!

Thank you all so much for your continued support. 🥰🎄

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
You may have already heard the news that St Ninian’s Church has unfortunately needed to close until at least October, but they have very kindly arranged for a small portacabin to be situated in their car park so the food bank can continue to operate as normal.
We will still be open every Sunday from 1-2pm however the portacabin isn’t big enough to allow people inside, therefore please bear with us and, in poor weather, dress accordingly and bring a brolly, in case you need to wait. For this reason, to speed things along for everyone, it would be helpful if you could bring a list of anything you require, that way we can make a bag up and hand it out to you.
As always, donations are always more than welcome, whether cash donations for us to buy what we need, or essential tinned items and staple products. Thank you for your patience. 🥰
