Helping Hands / Skye Food Bank : The following is the contents of a letter received at the end of last year –
“We would like to say a huge thank you to your church and congregation for the donations of food received throughout the year – your support has meant that we have been able to help a huge number of local families who are struggling to put food on their tables.
This year Helping Hands have made up 65 Christmas hampers – unfortunately a huge increase on last year and the Food Bank has been issuing emergency food parcels all year.
Every penny donated is spent on local people living in Skye and Lochalsh who need a “helping hand” and this year we have also been able to help by purchasing warm winter coats, shoes and bedding. The food you have donated has been packed up by the Food bank into 3emergency food parcels and distributed throughout the year. We wouldn’t be able to help these families without your support, so please accept our thanks, as the people you are helping are unable to thank you personally – your generosity is amazing.”
We would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Allison Rouse and Joan Corrigal
