St Columba’s Gift Box Appeal - Update
Our 'Gift Box Appeal' has proven to be a resounding success - 90 gift boxes and bags were donated to those in need.
Thank to everyone who donated to the ‘St Columba’s Gift Box Appeal’. We are delighted to announce that we received ninety gift bags and boxes!
Firstly, we would like to give special thanks to both Miss McIlfatrick for her incredible organisational skills in pulling this campaign together. Secondly, thanks you to you, our community, for your generosity.
On Saturday (16.05.2020) Miss McIlfatrick, and a group of volunteer pupils and staff, spent the afternoon delivering the donated gift boxes and gift bags to residents of Kilmacolm. During their delivery service, they ensured everyone adhered to the current social distancing guidelines, and safely distributed the many donations.
There have already been many kind comments and grateful messages from those who received a donation from the gift appeal. As lockdown currently continues here in Scotland, families are unable to travel to see elderly relatives, making these deliveries an invaluable service for many.
Well done and thank you to all those who donated or helped with the appeal, we are always so grateful and proud to be part of such a kind, caring and loving community.
