22 August 2025Latest from the Foodbank
Dear Churches Supporting Highland Foodbank,
HIGHLAND FOODBANK - HARVEST 2025
Harvest is a time of year when we remember God’s goodness to us – and also reflect on our responsibility to express his love to those in our community and in our world who are in need. So it’s not surprising that Harvest Thanksgiving continues to be the most significant time of year for giving to Food Bank from Highland Churches.
Nobody in the Highlands of Scotland should need to use a food bank, but the reality is that many do because unavoidable situations leave people in crisis.
I’m writing to ask if you would consider supporting us at Harvest this year, thus helping to make a difference in people’s lives in the weeks and months ahead.
I’m assigning seven products to each participating Church. The flyer attached lists the products we’d like your congregation to consider donating, if your Church decides to support Highland Foodbank this Harvest season. Please get in touch if you’d like paper copies posted out to you.
Donations of used or new ‘bags for life’ would also be very welcome and much appreciated.
Many thanks for your support!
With kindest regards,
Lorna

28 June 2025Latest letter from Lorna - Foodbank.
Dear Churches supporting Highland Foodbank,
Once again I’d like to thank everyone who has been able to donate to Food Bank this year. Your commitment to people in crisis in the Highlands is really appreciated by Blythswood. So far this year we’ve provided emergency food to 2,500 people, many of whom had never been referred to a food bank before.
I’ve attached a poster for use on a projector, and flyers if you’d like to make these available to the congregation…….both list the items we’re short of just now.
The reality for us is that stocks haven’t been so low in over five years, and we’re beginning to have to buy items to ensure we have enough food to make up food parcels for people referred to us. If folks in your congregation could donate even one item from the list, this would make a massive difference to what we do
If bringing food to Church is difficult for anyone, we have permanent collection points in Tesco Inshes, Tesco Tain, Asda Inverness and Asda Tain, which are emptied on a weekly basis. Some Co-ops across Highland also have a food donation box for us.
Wishing you every blessing this summer.
Kindest regards,
Lorna
