Let Hibs etc have their own food bank days. For what it’s worth I do kind of support this initiative but we are not a charity. I tell you now if I made a food parcel up and 2 people wanted it a Hibs family or Hearts family it would go to the Hearts one. We need to start toughening up as a club. We are a family and should start focusing on the inside instead of the outside. It’s a shame that the thread has taken this turn. Big Hearts have organised this initiative in support of a local community who are in need of help Big Hearts are a charity, OUR clubs charity and we offered to support them in their campaign. God forbid that Big Hearts spread their considerable support amongst only Hearts following families. Your stance beggars belief, so much so that I wondered if you were at the wind up There are loads of charitable ‘events’ and support initiatives being held at Tynecastle. Walking Football is just one of many. Should we restrict attendance to only those of a maroon persuasion. Absolute nonsense. Back to your point of what family should receive your food parcel?

What a self centered attitude, would you suggest the same for other charitable donations made by Jambos Kickback in the past, organisations such as CCLASP who help children suffering from leukemia. Maybe only the Jambo ones are worth helping. Truly a deplorable attitude to have. EDIT* back to the main focus, helping as many families you can with food parcels or monetary donations to a very worthwhile cause at what can be a tremendously difficult time for many.

The Community One Stop Shop has been assisting the residents of Broomhouse and its surrounding area, for over 17 years. In November 2012, they launched the Broomhouse Foodbank which offers free packs of food to families and individuals in crisis. They feed an average of 400 people every month, and a significant increase is expected over the Festive season and well into the New Year. 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 1000am and kick off at 1215pm at Foundation Plaza, where donations can be handed in to the team of volunteers in attendance. There will also be a drop off point at the gates to the Wheatfield Stand The following suggested items would be gratefully received; - Tinned meals i.e. stew, chilli, meatballs - Tinned vegetables - Tinned meat/fish - UHT or powdered milk - Soup/Rice/Couscous - Cereals/Biscuits - Other long shelf life products 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 midnight on 3 November. If you’d like to donate, please follow this link https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/donate/make-donation/ The proceeds will be collected, and once we have a final amount, the Community One Stop Shop will be able to buy additional supplies including fresh fruits, bread and toiletries, 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 donations will make such a huge difference to families in crisis. A huge thank you in advance of your support I’d like to thank the JKB Board once again, for their valued advice, and support of this initiative Remember, if you are going to Tynecastle tomorrow that you can drop off stuff at the collection points. You can also donate via the link above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bn jambo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I8, big Hearts also funds a Syrian refugee group of men,which is in relation to mens mental health and social isolation through the changing room initiative, they are not Jambos but may end up Jambos . Again families that cant afford food(some working families too) that rely on the food bank may or may not be jambos, people in that predicament wont have evidence they are or are not jambos they are just human beings in need, it shouldn't matter which brand of shite scottish fitbaw they follow. ⚽️👍🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say 'we' have you actually donated anything or are you using the Royal 'we'?

The people who benefit from this are in genuine need, and I couldn't give a toss if they are Hearts fans or not. If you feel strongly about it, maybe you can get off your arse and set up your own initiative, 'Hearts food for Hearts fans, let the Hibees starve'.

No, how you roll is to question how money that other people have donated to charity should be used.
