Once again Edinburgh’s Christmas is teaming up with The Trussell Trust – who supports a nationwide network of food banks – to encourage Christmas Market visitors to donate non-perishable and essential non-food items which will help those in need this winter.
The donation point is located at the Box Office on The Mound, just in front of the National Gallery and Royal Scottish Academy.
The food bank has the same opening hours as the Market itself: it is open daily from 10am until 10pm with the shorter hours around Christmas and Hogmanay noted here.
A typical food parcel contains cereal, soup, pasta, rice, tinned tomatoes, pasta sauces, lentils, beans and pulses, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, tea, coffee, tinned fruit, biscuits, UHT milk, fruit juice.
Edinburgh’s Christmas is also pleased to say 6,000 tickets to various rides and attractions were donated to food banks across Edinburgh for the food bank users.
