The Global Machars Foodbank Appeal January/February 2017
The Global Citizenship JLT would appealled for food items for a Burns Supper meal for poor children in Dumfries and Galloway where Rabbie Burns grew up as a child. In his day boys would go poaching for fish or catching rabbits and taking gulls eggs to help families eat but nowadays lots of boys and girls don’t have enough to eat. Naomi came up with the idea to make them a Burns Supper meal through a foodbank donation.
We made up an action plan to ask for donations, box up the foodstuffs and distribute the made-up boxes. The contained:

UHT milk 1 litre
*Tins of Scotch Broth or Leek and Potato soup
Tins of Cullen Skink
*Tins of haggis
Tins of Mince
Tins of Stewing Steak
*Tins of boiled potatoes
*Tins of carrots
Tins of peas
Packets of Smash potato
*Packets of shortbread
*Tins of fruit cocktail
Tins of custard

We found out by researching foodbanks that poor folk often don’t have enough personal care items so they asked for donations of soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste too!
Many many thanks,
Yours aye,
the Global Citizenship JLT.
