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.
Requests from the foodbank (5th July), are: * Tinned fruit, * custard, * pasta sauce jars,
* biscuits, * tinned hot dogs * UHT Milk
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 (5th July 2022) message from the Christchurch Foodbank+:
At the foodbank+ we meet some of the most amazing, courageous and kind individuals and are blessed to be a part of helping families get through a rough period in their lives. We had a mum visit us this week to say "we have finally found a home", the joy in her voice and the relief her husband and children are feeling is immeasurable, they have had the toughest three years. Mum talked about how we had prayed for her and how on so many occasions that was all that got her through and how us having faith that her family will get there and that we would help on that journey, gave her faith to believe it too. We have three gentlemen attending our community supper, who have also begun attending Church, one man says "the meal is the only time i sit together with others and eat at a table, it have saved my life" another has just started employment saying "The meal gave me my confidence back, its the power of prayer, thank you" how wonderful. So thank you, together we bring hope, never underestimate the power of your donations, it is so valuable and helps us to continue the work we do in the community, across all our projects. God bless from all the team. Tinned fruit, custard, pasta sauce jars, biscuits, tinned hot dogs and UHT Milk x Blessings form Tracy, Sarah and the Team
