OUR STORY
Love Falkirk is our compassion ministry here at Falkirk Vineyard. We are passionate about seeing our community transformed by the love of Jesus. All throughout the bible Jesus demonstrated love for people in practical ways, setting an example for us to follow.
We work with local agencies in Falkirk to help individuals and families who are struggling with poverty and crisis. We aim to provide support those in need through generosity and love. We provide food parcels, household items, toiletries and community.
In 2017 we started our Christmas project where we provide Christmas dinner hampers and Christmas presents to those in our community who would otherwise do without.
We believe that everyone deserves to feel loved and worthy and be able to live a life of dignity.
