Dear Churches Supporting Highland Foodbank.
I’d like to thank everyone within your congregation who has been able to donate to Highland Foodbank in recent months…..your donations have really helped boost our stocks. This kindness has meant so much to the people who have been referred to food bank, and it’s literally been the difference between eating and not.
For many families the Easter school holidays were an absolute struggle, as low income households found it difficult to afford enough food when free school meals weren’t available. Other families found that the additional cost of child care, when two weeks holiday couldn’t be taken, really stretched them, and for whom food bank was their last resort and only hope.
It’s been interesting to see a rise in the first quarter of 2025 of people who have never before had a referral to a food bank.
Please find attached a copy of our flyer for May and June, and a poster if you have overhead facilities in your church. We’d be really grateful for donations of anything from the list.
With thanks, appreciation and every blessing,
Lorna
