Council-wide collection for East Lothian foodbank

Thanks to everyone who responded to our appeal for volunteers to support a council-wide collection for East Lothian Foodbank in last month's Inform.

Collection points will operate between Monday 23 November to Friday 4 December in the following locations:

  • Blindwells Primary School
  • George Johnston Centre
  • John Muir House - ground floor (revenues), first floor, second floor (PA Hub and Children's Services)
  • Penston House - ground floor (reception), first floor (roads and Contact Centre)

The East Lothian Foodbank has suggested the following items for any donations, which will be gratefully received by them and the people they work with:

  • tinned soup
  • long-life milk or fruit juice
  • tinned fruit and vegetables
  • tinned meat or fish
  • pasta and pasta sauces
  • baked beans
  • rice
  • cereals
  • rice pudding or custard
  • tea or coffee
  • basic toiletries

Look out for posters appearing soon around workplaces soon. 

Could you coordinate a donation point in your area?

We're keen to reach as far as we can across our council. Contact inform@eastlothian.gov.uk and we'll continue to update this list.
