FOOD BANK

While the church is out of use, the box for any of your donations is in the porch of
the Vicarage and it will be super if you can still provide the necessary things as
you have been doing. During the winter months and at Christmas, it is as much
needed as ever. I would remind you:
This provides a simple way of helping people who have fallen on hard times.
I would ask: Please ensure that your gifts are at least 6 months in date.
You do not have to be a church member to contribute!
