A huge thank you to all of you who once again provided us with a very generous amount of food/toiletries/laundry products. We actually could not continue to aid these families without your continued support both in food and financial contributions.Besides helping those families who have hungry children at home for the school holidays, we were also able to help families purchase school uniforms and shoes for the coming term. Some of the items they can get 2nd hand but mostly we went to ASDA with the mothers to get basic school clothes. We will also now put some cash towards transport costs for children going to secondary school. We are so grateful to you all, as are the families we support.”Our next delivery is on Thursday 18th September. Please leave your kind donations in the church or under the porch by Wednesday 17th or at the latest by 10.00 a.m. on Thursday 18th July.
