St Peter's in Hamilton has been a long time supporter of the Hamilton Food Bank but it has been a real struggle this year because of Covid. With Christmas fast approaching once again Fr King will be asking people to donate, food, new toys etc that can be given to the food bank users to help them and their families at Christmas.

As collecting toys etc from guys on the internet isn't feasible I thought that we could once again try raising some money that will allow us to buy what's needed to donate to Hamilton Food Bank so they can distribute it to local families who are in need this Christmas.

Over the previous 3 years we've raised an astonishing £3350 and last year's final total of £1450 is a fantastic achievement YOU should all be proud of. I'd love to top that but I know times are tough - especially after the year we've had - so we'll go for our usual £500 as a start.

Please remember that ANY donation, no matter how small, will be gratefully received and appreciated.

The appeal will close on Thursday the 31st December.

God Bless, stay safe and a very Merry Christmas to you and your families, hopefully next year is better than 2020. 🙏
