Additional Notice from our friends at the Foodbank:

LATEST FOODBANK NEEDS

Dear Friends Thanks as always for your wonderful support. Due to the economic situation, we have a lot more clients, many of whom are working and still finding it hard to make ends meet and at the same time we are not receiving as many food donations as we did in recent times. It has therefore been necessary for us to purchase items in order to keep our shelves from being empty. This is unprecedented, and is not necessarily sustainable, so we would be grateful if you could spread the word on our behalf; just a couple of extra items will make a vast difference to us and our clients.

 

Here is an update of the items which are most needed: GENERALLY NEEDED • Tinned tomatoes • Pasta Sauces (in jars) • Tinned Tuna/Sardines/Mackerel • Tinned Spaghetti • Tinned Potatoes • Breakfast Cereals • Longlife Semi-Skimmed Milk • Longlife Soya or Oat Milk • Tinned Vegetable Soup • Dry RIce • Small jars regular coffee • Baby wipes • Toothpaste • Teabags • Dog Treats • Small Bottle or Cartons of Squash/Juice

Sea Shanty: We will share a united service with KCM on Sunday 16th June. This will include a Shanty band and singing group.

Homes & Gardens: Once again we would like to hold a series of visits to homes and gardens in the circuit. These visits are very popular and are a great way of raising money for the circuit and charities and for enjoying fellowship together. If you would like to take part please return the form to Jo Walker by 15th April. Everyone is welcome to open their garden/home whatever the size.
