At St Mary's we collect generous gifts of food for the Derby City Mission food bank, which our volunteer takes to the drop off point when we have collected sufficient to make a delivery. People have been extremely generous in ensuring we regularly take supplies for those struggling families who engage directly with Derby City Mission.

If you would like to make a donation, please drop it off St Mary's Church, Marston Lane, Marston on Dove, DE65 5GB. The main doors are open between 10.30am and 12.30pm every Sunday (you can check the service rota on this website). Donations can be left in the porch or brought into church.
