Thank You from Foodbank Co-ordinator Gill Gay and Swale Foodbank



Dear Upchurch,

You came with your bags of food, and we were humbled by your generosity once again - Thank you. You are taking part in God's work by being his hands and heart here on earth.

We spoke to Richard who collects all your donations from us. He said Swale Foodbank is so busy across the area they cover now that he can spend up to £300 a week buying essentials that the warehouse runs out of because they have so many families that need help. Swale Foodbank usage is up approximately 50%.

Recently, it was reported in the news that 2 million adults go without food for a day each week as they feed their kids first and wait for payday.

We will collect your donations again next month and every month until there are no longer people who are struggling to feed their families and themselves ❤️ 🤗 ❤️

We will be at the bus stop opposite the Church in Horsham Lane on Wednesday the 8th of June between 10:30am and 11:30am.

Bless you, all 😀

And thank you to Elizabeth for receiving the food today.

Gill Gay - Foodbank Co-ordinator
