Breadalbane Community Larder  

 

 

With empty shelves and a desire to ensure we had sufficient supplies should we receive any referrals we purchased £400 of stock last week.  However, with 13 customers at the Social Supermarket on the Saturday a lot of that has already gone.  We are therefore still short of the following items.

long-life milk                                               tinned fruit

coffee (small jars)                                      cat food                                

We have no stock of items in bold

tinned carrots                                             tinned potatoes

tinned sweetcorn                                       tinned mushrooms

tinned peas                                                 biscuits 

dog food                                                       long grain / basmati rice

In addition, donations to the trolley in the Co-op have been reasonably sparse in recent weeks, probably with so many people away on holiday.  If you are able, please consider donating any of the items listed above to the trolley in the Co-op or to the wire basket in the foyer of Aberfeldy church.

 

Social Supermarket - most items 4 for £1, available Saturday mornings 11.00am -12-30pm at Offizone, Kenmore Street, Aberfeldy. 

Emergency deliveries of food parcels please call 0345 30 111 00 Monday to Friday 9.00am – 4.00pm.

FUTURE EVENTS

 

SHOEBOX WRAPPING DAY - FRIDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER – ABERFELDY PARISH CHURCH

 Whether you joined us last time or didn't manage, we would be delighted to have your presence (and box-wrapping skills!) at our next shoebox wrapping day, Friday 18th September between 11am-3pm. Once again, the gourmet soup will be flowing, courtesy of bon viveur, Ken. The last lot of wrappers really threw down the gauntlet with 100+ boxes wrapped! Anything remotely close to that would be considered a total triumph. In any case please come along if you can.
