Swale Foodbank Collection - No 'A Cuppa and a Chat' in the Church this Time

Swale Foodbank Collection

Please note the change of collection point this month.

Dear Upchurch,

We will be collecting your foodbank donations again, this time, at the front of 14 Oak Lane, Upchurch, on Wednesday the 10th of August 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 Foodbank is really struggling to provide the extra food needed to cover the enormous increase in people needing help. They do thankfully have plenty of Baked Beans and Pasta but have had empty shelves for everything else. Below is a list of items that are family basics.

Items that go quickly from their shelves:

■ Tinned Fruit

■ Tinned Soup

■ Tinned Meat (Chicken in Sauce, Hotdogs)

■ Tinned Fish

■ UHT Milk

■ Squash

■ Tinned Tomatoes

■ Jars Sauce (Pasta, Curry)

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.

Thank you in advance for your loving generosity ♥️

'A Cuppa and a Chat'

There is a funeral service in the church on Wednesday, so there is no 'A Cuppa and a Chat' in the Lady Chapel this time.
