WE MET THE KING!
WE MET THE KING!
Kintyre foodbank was honoured to meet HRH King Charles at a recent event in Campbeltown Town Hall.
He was very interested in the work that we do and showed a good knowledge of what is involved in the day to day running of the Foodbank.
He encouraged us to continue to recruit volunteers and to keep up our good work.
FUNDRAISING
WE MET THE KING!
We were very lucky to have been given a very large donation of brand new baby items and clothes.
We took the opportunity to set up a stall and sell them at the local Agricultural Show.
It was a huge success - we raised our awareness within the community, had great fun and made lots of money too!
