Seagate Church Christmas Hampers
In December , myself and other members of Seagate Church in Troon made up over 90 Christmas hampers and 90 bags of everyday things to give out to families across Ayrshire . We started preparing the hampers on the afternoon of the 20th of December and finished packing on the 22 nd . They were delivered on the 23rd and 24th of December . A whole lot of effort was put into this organisation , and I wanted to let everyone at Marr know about it , especially as some students from Marr College gave a big helping hand .
Our hampers all cost around £ 80 without including the two vouchers that were included . Inside the hampers were things like chocolates , tea , drinks , ready meals , a bible picture book , Christmas pudding , a candle , jam and more . We also gave all the families a bag that included pasta , rice , crackers , mince pies , soup and more .
Every year , it is always amazing to see the reactions of the families and it just shows you an act of kindness can go a long way !
