Every day people in the Highlands are struggling to put food on the table. Reasons range from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. Highland Foodbank, part of the work of Blythswood Care, provides a minimum of three days emergency food and support to local people in crisis.

This Reverse Advent Calendar idea is a good way of helping those who are struggling over the winter, by gathering together items that the Food Bank is often short of, day by day throughout Advent.
