The Gate has provided an update on what items are needed to support Coalsnaughton residents.
As previously reported in the Advertiser, the charity previously called on the community to come together to help those who had been evacuated from their homes.
Now, the Gate have provided an update on what items they are still accepting.
Posting on Facebook, the charity said: “Firstly, thank you to everyone who has donated so far. The support from our local community has been incredible and is very much appreciated.
“As we continue to respond to requests from households affected by the Coalsnaughton evacuation, we wanted to provide a quick update on the items that are currently needed.
“At this time, we are not accepting donations of clothing or toys for the Coalsnaughton Appeal unless they have been specifically requested and appear on our Amazon Wishlist. At present, these are not items that families are asking for and, unfortunately, we do not have the storage capacity to hold large quantities of clothing and toys.
“If you would like to support affected households, we would encourage you to check our Amazon Wishlist or donate food and household essentials.
“We would also ask that any donations intended for the Coalsnaughton Appeal are clearly marked ‘Coalsnaughton Appeal’.
“Any unmarked donations received will be assumed to be for our foodbank and will be processed as part of our normal foodbank operations.
“Thank you once again for your kindness, generosity and understanding as we work to ensure donations reach those who need them most”.
Currently, their Amazon wish list has a two-ring portable hob, skimmed milk, semi-skimmed milk, cereal bars, instant coffee sachets, and more on it.
