WIRRAL FOODBANK
The Wirral Foodbank are very grateful for all the food that our church donates to them. They have suggested that we focus on the following items, as a necessity for the boxes they pack:
Tinned fish, meat, vegetables (peas, carrots, sweetcorn, potatoes) also tinned tomatoes.
Tinned rice pudding, fruit
UHT milk
Deodorant & shampoo
Every week they are giving out 1000 tins of fish, 800 tins of meat and 600 tins of fruit. So, the more we can give of these items, the more help we will be.
The Foodbank picks up donations from Tesco in Heswall on a Monday and Thursday. Given the need, it would be good if, as a church, each week we could put as much as we can in the box in the foyer and Eve will take it to Heswall every week if possible.
Another positive about Tesco is that for every kilo of food donation they will make a cash contribution to the Foodbank. Apparently, they don’t mind if it has come from another supermarket.
Many thanks in advance for your generous giving.
