“We are running low on many items.”

Donations can be dropped off at the hub in Machrie Court or at number 117, opposite the centre, if the facility is closed.

Tamfourhill Community Hub serves Tamfourhill, Bonnyhill, Sunmerford, Camelon and Bantaskine.

The organisation also works with a network of food banks across Falkirk district to prevent duplication and enable each service to meet the needs of its community.
