The Lighthouse Food Bank is now up and running again. Donations will be most welcome and should be left in the receptacle in the church foyer. Household cleaning materials, toiletries, and food stuffs such as tins of soup, vegetables, fruit, custard, mince, sausage and beans etc, together with sugar, breakfast cereal, jam, biscuits, tea and coffee are really helpful in meeting some of the need in the Tillydrone area. Due to a severe shortage of food donations to Aberdeen Cyrenians, we will also be distributing foodstuffs received to that orginisation meantime.
