A huge thank you to everyone for the outstanding response to our 12 Days of Giving Appeal. It really could not be a success without your amazing support. We have been operating a bagging system over the last few days so that everything is ready for drop off day next week. We are sure Stay Connected and the The Food Pantry alongside Coatbridge Foodbank will be delighted with the deliveries heading their way. It will be wonderful to think our contributions helped so many families in our own community.
