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.
