Pie Of The Month Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Greater Maryhill Foodbank are collecting at the Celtic game at Firhill on 27th October. Not too much information yet but they are looking for food donations or, if anyone can spare some time, volunteers to help with the collection. You can find out more about them at their twitter and facebook pages https://twitter.com/MaryhillBank and https://www.facebook...aryhillFoodbank Serving the Communities of - Acre, Ruchill, Milton, Cadder, Wyndford, Woodside, Maryhill, Possilpark, Parkhouse, Gilshochill, Summerston and Queens Cross What is the Greater Maryhill Foodbank The Greater Maryhill Foodbank provides households (individuals or families) in crisis situations with approximately 3 days worth of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food. Partner agencies identify households needing food and refer them to the foodbank by giving out a voucher. The voucher enables that household member to enter the foodbank Suggestions of non-perishables Tins - Tuna, Meat, Soup, Vegetables, Baked Beans, Fruit, Meat Pie, Rice Pudding, Spaghetti, pet food etc Jars - Jam, Pasta Sauce, Curry Sauce, Sandwich Spread, Baby Food Packets - Pasta, Rice, Sugar, Cereal, Oatmeal, Biscuits, Noodles Beverages - Tea, Coffee, Long Life Milk, Fruit Juice, Bottled Juice If anyone has any spare tins of food or anything or are shopping in the next couple of weeks and can spare the expense of an extra tin to donate I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by the volunteers of the Foodbank. They have mentioned in particular "pet food & household cleaning products are always in demand! Along with coffee, sugar & rice." If anyone wishes to donate some food but doesn't want to bring it to the game, won't be going or whatever then I believe Maryhill Parish Church up past the First and Last and Rams Head take donations in and pass them on.

BowenBoys Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 The Red Cross are in the UK opening food banks, the Red Cross! Vote Yes. It is shameful that this appeal for food for the poor is necessary. Now, let's get right behind this. Pop into the shop on the way to the ground and pick up a couple of items. Let us show that we care for those in need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) The Red Cross are in the UK opening food banks, the Red Cross! Vote Yes. That's right. "Better together" indeed! It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. I firmly believe that nobody actually believes the messages that Project Fear spouts. Their objections to Scotland becoming independent are due instead to their emotional ties to the concept of empire, British nationalism etc. In other words, they've swallowed the British propaganda hook, line and sinker. Anyway, back on topic: I'll be taking along some items to the food bank. Edited October 15, 2013 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 As I see it this foodbank does not "have to" exist by any individual's or authoritative body's command. It's a charity. Its existance and its success is due to the hard work, goodwill and dedication of those who feel compelled to donate thier time and resources, above and beyond the call of duty, to help those who need it. No government can legislate for that. Not at all ashamed, but proud of yet another reason why Maryhill is indeed wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Quinn Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Personally speaking, I think it's ludicrous that anyone has to go to a food bank, as the goverment gives EVERYONE enough money to eat. You'll find the people who use the food banks are ravin jakes, junkies, crack heads, people who can afford to smoke 40 snout a day but cant afford to eat, people who have 8 cats/dogs etc but cant afford to eat. Get your priorities straight people! Soft touch Britain again which Labour introduced, something for nothing culture. There you go...

Everyone can feed themselves end of. u can feed yourself for a wk on a fiver For a lot of people they have to prioritize between eating and paying electricity and basic bills like clothing and rent, with some ensuring the kids are fed and they skip meals, yes there are benefit cheats like there are tax cheats, but to make sweeping statements that everyone on low wages or benefits is a chain smoking, boozing crack head is almost Goebbels like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) http://ptfc.co.uk/ne...rity_collection The club are doing a can collection for East Park Children's Home. I'd imagine they had this organised for some time, people can now choose where to donate to if bringing something to the game.

Lambies Lost Doo Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 The food at Firhill is pretty poor so I'm hoping to pick up something from the food bank to eat at the game so make sure it's high quality stuff and go via some west end shops if possible. Cheers in advance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
