Fettercairn Community Centre and WorkIQ is thrilled to announce a new initiative aimed at supporting local families in need. As the festive season approaches, the centre is preparing to open a foodbank to address the rising demand for food poverty support in the area. This initiative is not just about providing food; it’s about bringing hope and joy to families during a challenging time.
How You Can Help
The Fettercairn Community Team have established a GoFund.Me page with the aim of raising €6,000.
Debbie, Fettercairn Community & Youth Centre Manager: “The opening of our foodbank is a crucial step in supporting our community. We’re experiencing heartbreaking stories of poverty, and with Christmas approaching, the need for support is greater than ever. We’re grateful for WorkIQ’s partnership in making this initiative a reality. We have started getting ready for Christmas and our foodbank is being launched the first week in November”
Daniel, WorkIQ Business Growth Manager: “At WorkIQ, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. The Fettercairn Christmas and Foodbank Appeal is a wonderful opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of local families. We’re committed to raising awareness and funds to ensure a successful launch and a memorable Christmas for all.”
