davemclaren Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 On 16/11/2017 at 20:15, Dagger Is Back said: On 25 November, the day of the home game against Ross County, Big Hearts will host a Foodbank Collection in support of the Community One Stop Shop. http://www.coss-broomhouse.org.uk/ The Community One Stop Shop has been assisting the residents of Broomhouse and its surrounding area for over 15 years. In November 2012 they launched the Broomhouse Foodbank which offers free packs of food to families and individuals in crisis. Supported by donations of non-perishable food, they are able to make a real difference to families living in poverty in the area. The collection will be held between 130pm and 3pm at Gorgie Dalry Stenhouse Church (Gorgie Road), by the Gorgie Stand entrance, where donations can be handed in to the team of volunteers in attendance. The following suggested items would be gratefully received; - Tinned meats i.e stew, chilli, minced beet etc - UHT or powdered milk - Soup - Pasta sauces - Pasta/Rice/Couscous - Tinned vegetables - Cereals - Tinned fish - Biscuits - Toiletries - Tinned beans Many people find it difficult to support events like this in terms of finding the time to get donations along to a collection point etc so with the agreement of the JKB Board, we’ve set up a donations function to allow people to contribute financially to this worthwhile cause. This will run from now until 9pm on 28 November. If you’d like to donate, please follow this link http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/clients/donations/ The proceeds will be collected and once we have a final amount, the Community One Stop Shop will draw up a shopping list of much needed items. We’ve approached a local wholesaler who has kindly agreed to provide the items required at as best a price as possible, and this will allow us to maximise the value we are trying to add. JKB has a long and proud history of supporting many charitable causes and any contribution you can make will be much appreciated. I’d like to thank the JKB Board for their valued advice and support. Over £1100 now. Great effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
