Events and Services
Our (always free) events and services
Our cupboards are open daily, but we also hold weekly Saturday afternoon markets from 3-4pm, alternating between Kilsyth and Montrose locations. Check out our Facebook page for the most up-to-date information. From February - November, the first Saturday market of the month runs from 11:30am-12:30pm from the Montrose Library. We also monthly community meals in Montrose. These meals take place on 4th Sunday evening of the month at 6-7:30pm (from February-November) and we ask that community members - who are able to - bring along some non-perishable items such as herbs, spices, canned tomatoes, or rice for us to use at upcoming meals. If you are unable to donate, that's okay too!
Everyone is always welcome at any of our events.
