Working together with Bothwell Futures and the community we are pleased to be able to open up and offer a community larder for everyone. All are welcome Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:00-14:00 to come with out judgement or referal to browse the shelves of the larder and take the food and toiletry items that they require. The Larder is located in the Church Centre. When the larder is in use the middle doors are closed in the hallway allowing for a private space to be created, just ring the bell on the door to come in.
Donations
Donations are always welcome and required. If you are able to help, please bring these to the Church on the last Sunday of each month, or bring them to the Church Centre Monday to Saturday between 9 and 5pm. Leave your donation in the trolley outside the Chapterhouse Café
Volunteers
Finally we also need more volunteers to man the larder. Each of our volunteers helps on average once a month.
Thanks so much to all those who have already helped in any way.
