Help Us Bring Joy This Christmas by Donating New Toys

As the holiday season approaches, we at Food for Thought Foodbank are reaching out to you for support in making this Christmas special for the children in our community. We are collecting new toys to distribute to local families in need through our Christmas Toy Bank Project.

We serve families referred to us by various local authority organisations, assisting children aged 0-16 years. In West Dunbartonshire, we face significant challenges with high levels of child poverty and food insecurity. Many families struggle to provide even the basic necessities, and your generous donations can bring a smile to a child's face during this festive season.

If you would like to help, please drop off new toy donations at our foodbank premises located in the Artizan Shopping Centre, Dumbarton. We are accepting donations from now until Friday 13th December which can be dropped off Monday to Friday.

For any questions or more information, feel free to contact us at 01389 743908 or email admin@foodforthoughtwestdun.co.uk.

Every gift, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated and makes a real difference in the lives of local children. Let’s come together as a community to spread joy and kindness this Christmas

Thank you for your support!
