Balwearie School Foodbank.
Balwearie would like to announce the opening of the school Foodbank. We are aware there are a number of families who would value some support throughout the year and cannot easily access the town’s Foodbank. We have therefore created one of our own. We stock a variety of cans, snacks, packets, biscuits, cereal and UHT milk . If you feel you could do with an extra help at any point please do not hesitate to get in touch balweariehs.enquiries@fife.gov.uk
