In the run up to Christmas, the Foundation will again be running our winter campaign! Whilst Christmas is the happiest time of year for many, for some it can be a lonely, challenging time. Supported by the SPFL Trust, we aim to help these people by providing food hampers, warm clothing and toys to families across the Falkirk area.
We managed to help over 300 families last year and we’re calling on the help of the Falkirk support to allow us to reach even more people this year. To do this, we will be accepting donations before the following Falkirk FC match:
Saturday 7th December – Falkirk vs Raith Rovers
Donations can be made at the turnstiles at either side of the Main Stand and in the middle of the Kevin McAllister Stand. Outside of matchdays, donations can also be made through the club shop at the Stadium.
Suggested food donations – we’d also be appreciative of any other non-perishable items
- Biscuits/Chocolate
- Diluting Juice
- Condensed Milk
- Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate
- Sugar/Sweetener
- Tinned Soups/Tinned Meat/Tinned Fish
- Pasta/Rice
- Selection Boxes
Suggested clothing donations – we ask that all items are clean and in good condition
- Jackets
- Fleeces/Jumpers
- Hats
- Gloves
- Scarves
Toy donations
We would welcome any donations of small toys in good condition, which can be handed over with food hampers as a Christmas gift.
Christmas meals
As part of the campaign, will also be hosting two Christmas meals for people aged 60+ in our community. The recipients of this will be the Falkirk Blind Club and our Bairns Blether group.
We’re also keen to hear from any local businesses who may be willing to support our campaign and give a boost to local people in the run-up to the festive period.
