The Provost’s annual Christmas Foodbank Appeal is back again for this year.
Over the last three years, you have donated more than 100 bags of food which have gone directly to local people and families over the festive period via East Dunbartonshire Foodbank. The positive impact your donations have had cannot be underestimated, so thank you for your generosity.
Unfortunately, people are still struggling. East Dunbartonshire Foodbank does a wonderful job providing emergency food to those most in need. Demand continues to rise so any donations to meet this would be much appreciated.
The following items are most in demand:
- Tinned meat
- Household products (detergent, cleaning, etc.)
- Shampoo
- Instant coffee
- UHT milk
- UHT pure juice
- Tomato puree
- Cooking oil.
A Christmas treat such as chocolate would also be welcomed. If you can help with any of the above as part of this appeal, please donate them in our collection boxes from today.
All donations will be collected and taken to the Foodbank.
We have located collection boxes in the following places:
- Broomhill – back door (employee entrance)
- Broomhill – bothy (kitchen)
- Southbank Marina – reception
- Southbank House – reception
- Hilton Depot – operational canteen
- Kirkintilloch Health & Care Centre – 1st floor outside the break room
- Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch and Lennoxtown Community Hubs, and the three Leisure Centres (staff areas).
If you prefer, you can also donate via Paypal
Many thanks in advance for all the support that you can give to this year’s Christmas appeal.
Thank you,
Provost Gillian Renwick
