Help the Homeless

The Help the Homeless group gives some help to the problems of the homeless in Edinburgh. Help is provided in the following ways:

Fresh Start is a programme that gives help to the recently homeless who are moving into new accommodation. The basic items required to move into unfurnished accommodation are supplied. Greenbank helps in this effort by having regular collections of items such as crockery and bedding. Keep an eye on the Greenbank Connections newsletter for further details on current collections.
The Night Shelter is run by Bethany, and Greenbank help to staff the shelters. This provides a bed and a hot meal for anyone who needs it. Accommodation is provided by central Edinburgh churches and Greenbank supplies the hot meal and company for users of this service. Bethany provides the professional help to those who need it on the night.
During Advent, please help with our Countdown to Christmas.
The Foodbox, which is situated at the main door of the church, is there to receive non-perishable food donations from anyone wishing to contribute. The donations are then distributed to five centres around Edinburgh where meals are provided daily for the homeless.
