The Lighthouse Support Centre is now partnering with Kings Community Church to provide a food bank for the community of Tillydrone. As a result, food will be donated independently, so there will be no more need for gifts of food from ACF. A grateful ‘thank you’ to all those who have given to the Lighthouse Food Bank over the years. You have been a blessing to many and a huge encouragement to the volunteers at Lighthouse.
Aberdeen Cyrenians would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your very generous donations of various food items. Your donation is very much appreciated and goes towards providing practical support for our many service users. Many thanks,
