Foodbank
Please accept our grateful thanks for all your support throughout the year. A significant rise in the number of households relying on us means your contributions are more important than ever. Anyone wishing to donate to our foodbank is invited to donate at the church. Please speak to Sandra Graham for more information.
Baby Bank
Our church supports Cumbernauld & Kilsyth Baby Bank, and there is a box in the vestibule for donations of clothes for newborn babies up to seven years of age. Nappies, baby toiletries, blankets, towels and baby wipes, boys' and girls' socks and underwear MUST be new, but other clothing doesn't have to be new as long as it is in excellent condition and freshly laundered, as it is sometimes needed at short notice.
Please do not donate toys or books as the Baby Bank do not have enough storage space for these. Thank-you!
