Christmas Appeal East Ayrshire Churches Homelessness Action:

 We appreciate the support this appeal always receives from the congregation and the wider community.
Two deliveries of gifts, food and cash were dropped off with EACHa workers.

A Thank You from EACHa
The gifts have been distributed to struggling families by children’s services,
and we know that this will have made a real difference to these families.
This winter in particular has been difficult for many families. The parents were able to concentrate on household necessities
rather than worrying about buying gifts for the children.
The food has been used in the food parcels we distribute each week, and a large parcel of food was handed into the Blue Triangle.
Thank you also for the cash received, the amazing sum of over £300.
We used most of this money for Christmas vouchers for the older young folks, including young care leavers
and the rest for Christmas gifts for children.

Thanks to all at Dunlop Church and the community for your continued support.
We wish you all a very happy Christmas and fulfilling New Year.

Food Bank donation bags are now available in both our church sanctuaries and church halls.  
As organisations return from the summer break they'll be encouraged to make use of these donation collection points.  
If you'd like to help out by collecting the donations from time to time and delivering them to the Food Banks in Barrhead and Stewarton,
please contact Alison and hopefully we can make up a rota of deliverers!  
Below a link to the Trussell Trust website so you can have a look at their campaigns and activities
to bring about structural change for the benefit of those who find themselves unable to feed themselves and their families.
