Proceeds will be for the church’s new initiative “Make Lunch” starting after Christmas supporting families in the community who often rely on their children getting free school meals during term time.
SHOEBOXES
We managed to fill 214 shoeboxes last week. Thank you for all your help. Especial thanks to my wonderful band of volunteers who packed, stacked and transported boxes to the warehouse. We now need to transport them to their destination and this costs £3 per box. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. This year our boxes are going to Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Bosnia and Georgia.
