GIFT SERVICE

The 167 Anchor Boys, Junior Section and Company Section and Girl Guiding in St Andrew and St Nicholas Church, Glasgow held a Gift Service in December to help poor families in the area struggling in the approach to Christmas.

With all the organisations of the church contributing, the young people managed to gather 100 bags of food for local foodbanks, and two car-loads and two minibus-loads of toys for Children First.

The Service was on Wednesday December 7, and volunteers from the nearest foodbank and Children First came along and explained to a packed church how many homes would benefit from the donations and how many homes would be filled with laughter, food and toys on Christmas Day.
