Foodbanks+
We have a network of 7 Foodbanks+ across the city, each open on one weekday morning per week. Due to the government measures, some of our volunteers have had to stop volunteering and so we need new volunteers to help who are in sympathy with our values and committed to maintaining high standards.
Soul Food
In October 2019 we launched a weekly Soul Food meal at the City of Edinburgh Methodist Church in Nicolson Square. Every Monday evening we will offer hospitality to the homeless people in our city. We will set a table, cook a meal and go into the streets of Edinburgh to invite our neighbours to dinner.
We are blessed to have enough volunteers who come along each week and help us with laying tables, welcoming our guests and clearing out, but we are looking for people who love cooking and and would help us to provide amazing meals for Soul Food.
If you would like to find out more, please email volunteers@edinburghcitymission.org.uk
“Is it not a time to share your food with the hungry, and bring the poor man into your house who has no home of his own? Is it not a time to give clothes to the person you see who has no clothes, and a time not to hide yourself from your own family? Then your light will break out like the early morning, and you will soon be healed. Your right and good works will go before you. And the shining-greatness of the Lord will keep watch behind you.”
Isaiah 58:7-8 (NLV)
