Santa's been
What a fantastic response!
Yet again you have filled my boot with love ❤️
Thank you and God bless you.
If anyone still has gifts they would like to bring along for the Salvation Army, I will be back at the layby next to the bus stop in Horsham Lane, Upchurch between 10:30am and 11:30am on Friday the 4th of December.
This date has changed from Saturday because we have to get everything to the Salvation Army for Saturday morning.
Give a gift and light up a life!
