Dagger Is Back Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 On 2 December, the day of the home game against Rangers, Big Hearts will host their third Foodbank Collection in support of the Community One Stop Shop. http://www.coss-broomhouse.org.uk/ Last year Hearts fans kindly contributed 800kg of supplies and donated £2000, which allowed COSS to support 167 families for a month. The Community One Stop Shop has been assisting the residents of Broomhouse and its surrounding area, for over 16 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 1030am and noon at Foundation Plaza, where donations can be handed in to the team of volunteers in attendance. The following suggested items would be gratefully received; - Tinned meat/fish - UHT or powdered milk - Soup/Rice/Couscous - Tinned beans/vegetables - Tinned meals - Cereals/Biscuits 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 5 December. If you’d like to donate, please follow this link https://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 which will allow them to continue to support families into the New Year. The JKB Board have generously agreed to cover all Paypal fees which means 100% of funds donated will go to COSS for the benefit of local families. 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.

Highlander Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Love this! Just made an online donation. Worked in foodbanks all my life and can totally endorse the important work they do reaching folk who you'd never expect needing to use a foodbank. Furthermore, it feeds into the charitable tradition of our club: first living wage football employer in Scotland, children's charity as club sponsor and fan-owned and fan-resourced club! Well done to all behind organising this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, l've never understood why people who struggle to pay for themselves own pets. I don't own any pets but do they not cost a lot of money to look after (lm thinking vets bills etc)? I can understand it if it's a working dog for the blind or to help for a disability or if they have mental health issues etc but not if they have one for the sake of it. Do they have them for company or something? I'm hoping to donate to the charity as it's a very worthy cause though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the stories from a Foodbank was about a family where the Dad was a self employed tradesman. He had an accident at work and couldn’t work for 6/7 months I think it was. Life up until then had been fine. They could pay their bills and feed their family without being able to save. That one incident changed their lives dramatically. No accident insurance and no savings, but still mouths to feed, and the bills keep on coming don’t they? I don’t know if they had pets but entirely possible. I think that’s one of the reasons that Foodbanks press such a huge button for me. For an increasing number of folks, the line between ‘managing’ and not, is becoming ever thinner. That family were so proud that they didn’t want to come for help. The kids school had concerns and basically bundled the Mum in a car and drove them to the Foodbank. Heartbreaking stuff Any help you can give COSS will be hugely appreciated and make a real difference to people in need Edited November 30, 2018 by Dagger Is Back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
