Renfrew Community Council has donated £250 to Renfrewshire Toy Bank and £250 to Renfrewshire Food Bank. This support aims to assist families across the town during the winter months.
These contributions will help provide toys, gifts, and essential food items for households needing a bit of extra support. Both organisations work quietly throughout the year. They ensure families in Renfrew are cared for with dignity, warmth, and understanding.
The Heart of Our Community
Community Councillor Gary McGuire said:
“These groups are part of the fabric of Renfrew. They treat every person who comes through the door with kindness, and they make sure help gets to where it’s needed. The volunteers at the Toy Bank and Food Bank give their time, energy, and compassion every single week. Our donation is simply a way of backing that effort. We’re glad to play a small part in supporting the work they do for our neighbours.”
If anyone in our community wants to support them—through a donation, helping at a collection point, or spreading the word—it all makes a real difference.
