We are proud to support Christchurch food bank, especially during the Covid pandemic when so many have faced increasing hardship on a daily basis.
For details of their essential work, do watch their video and see their Annual Review.
To support the Christchurch food-bank, you can place donations in the collection box, which is in the porch of St. Lukes' Church in Burton.
This week's requests are for:
* Tinned Tuna * Tinned Fruit * Boxes of Cereals * Pasta
Do make sure that any donations with 'Use by' or 'Best before' dates have several months before they expire, as otherwise the foodbank may not be able to use them.
This week's (1st September) message from the Christchurch Foodbank:

Children are returning to School and our shelves are reflecting how busy we have been, this is a lifeline for many families, they have enjoyed the outside 'activities bags' and completing the History Treasure hunt, One family who sadly lost both Grandparents last year said "we were dreading this Summer without them and their help with the children, the map took us to all the places we would go together and even asked questions that they would ask the children on our walk, it was wonderful... We have done it 6 times already, everytime the answers are different, thank you." Our needs this week are, tinned Tuna, Tinned Fruit, Boxes of cereal and Pasta. Thank you and blessings for your donations.
