St Peter's in Hamilton has been a long time supporter of the Hamilton Food Bank with weekly donations now averaging well over 100kg per week. Now with Christmas fast approaching once again Fr King will be asking people to donate, new and nearly new toys that can be given to the food bank users for their kids.

As collecting toys 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 toys to donate to Hamilton Food Bank so they can distribute them to local families who are in need this Christmas.

After last year's amazing effort when we raised £860 (£800 in cash after site fees etc) I'm hoping we can top that - hence the £861 target.

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

The appeal will close on Friday 21st December.
