Renfrewshire Foodbank

The demand for the Foodbank in Renfrewshire continues to increase. 

At this time of year, the stock decreases significantly as we are between the generous donations usually received at Easter and Harvest.  

We continue to need tinned foods, meat, fish, soup, vegetables, pasta sauce, as well as cereals, biscuits, long life milk, diluting juice. We also welcome donations of toiletries particularly shampoo and shaving items, pet food and chocolate/sweets. 

Donations can be dropped off at the Church on Sunday or at the Cornerstone when it is open for Chit Chat, Coffee Stop or Services.
