Christmas Gifts

Could you give an extra gift this Christmas?

Stewartry Food bank

''Following our monthly food collection our shelves are once again laden with foodstuff.  Thanks to your generosity, we will not require any basic food items next month.
At our next collection on 11th December, we will be making up our Christmas boxes for individuals and families referred by the various agencies.
As well as basics, these will contain extra food treats and a small gift for each person.  It will be helpful if any children's gifts are suitable for girls and boys (eg drawing book and pencils, selection box etc.)

Thank you to those who have already sent Christmas items and we will gratefully accept any other Christmas donations on the 11th December, 9-9.30am at Greyfriars House as usual or leave donations at the back of the church in the plastic box.

Thanks again and best wishes''.  The Stewartry Food Bank Team.
