Food Bank & Hamper Collections
The importance of the foodbanks has much increased in the last weeks. Please consider donating food gifts and money because these really make a difference and are especially important under the present circumstances.
Currently it is not possible to donate via the church. However there should be donation boxes in the Tesco and Coop stores, or contact ACER.
Do make sure items are in date, non–perishable and not ‘started’ or re–boxed, as such items cannot be used by the food banks.
Thank you for your generosity.
