Want to help families in the area Neighbors in Need needs you!!

One of EBM’s integral services is an annual Christmas hamper project called “Neighbours in Need.”  Last year, EBM distributed over 365 hampers to families in East Belfast and throughout the city— more than twice the number of hampers as the year before.  With effects of the financial downturn impacting local individuals and families more than ever, we expect this year’s number of hamper requests to grow. 

 Each year, churches, schools, businesses, community groups and individuals come together to resource, pack and deliver the hampers.  If you would like to join the effort, here are some ways you can help:

 1)      Donate Food or Food Vouchers – We will gladly accept donations of non–perishable food or grocery vouchers of any denomination by 19 November. 

 2)      Donate Money – Donations of money allow us to purchase needed food for the hampers, as well as provide vouchers for fresh meat and vegetables from local shops. 

 3)      Volunteer – Each year, volunteers sort food and pack and deliver hampers—we would love to have you on board!  This year’s hamper packing day will take place on Saturday, 26 November from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm at Dee Street Community Centre.

If you would like to volunteer or provide resources for the hampers, please contact Sara Cook or Sandie Gallagher at 9045 8560 or send donations to: East Belfast Mission, 240 Newtownards Road, Belfast BT4 3AF.

Last year, hampers were described as “life lines” by some of the people who received them.  Together we can make a difference in our community again this Christmas.
