Swale Foodbank Collection - Call into the Church for 'A Cuppa and a Chat'

Swale Foodbank Collection

We have so much to be thankful for, even in these stranger tougher days.

Upchurch, I thank you for your endless generous support for those who find each day difficult as they try to balance the little money they have between all the demands they face.

Food should be a priority to sustain life and yet it's the first thing that people choose to go without so that they can sustain their children and a roof over their heads, which of course is their priority. 

Thank you that you stand alongside them, enabling them to survive each day.

God bless you - he sees your generous heart.

We will be collecting your foodbank donations again at the bus stop opposite the church on Wednesday the 8th of June between 10:30am and 11:30am.

Please bring your items in carrier bags. Warehouse Coordinator Richard Divers will then deliver your donations to the Swale Foodbank Warehouse, part of the Trussell Trust.

The items they are most in need of:

■ Soup (packet or tin)

■ Spaghetti in Sauce

■ Tomatoes / Pasta Sauce

■ Tins Vegetables

■ Tins Meat (to reheat, such as Chicken in Sauce, Hot Dogs etc) or Vegetarian option

■ Tins Fish

■ Tins Fruit

■ Rice Pudding

■ Custard

■ Biscuits

■ Noodles

■ Coffee

■ UHT Milk

■ Juice

Of course, all donations are helpful, providing the food is long life and well within date. I hope this list helps and that you can donate some of the above.

For every single donation - we are very grateful ♥️
