Christmas 2016 – give the gift of food

Dear  Friends

Many thanks for offering to support Cupar Foodbank this Christmas. Last year we supplied 120 food parcels to individuals and families in need and we expect the need to be greater this Christmas.

Given that the number of people needing emergency food parcels has increased over the past year we expect that there will be an even greater need this Christmas.

However we can only meet this need thanks to the generosity of people and businesses within our local community. This year our stock is very low due to the increased demand over the past while and I would ask that you keep us in mind by either donating food from the list below or by making a financial donation that will enable us to purchase fresh food for our Christmas Hampers.

Many thanks.
