Thank you, Upchurch.
As usual, in March, you were very generous with your donations towards the work of Swale Foodbank.
I know that February and March caught some of you out with the first Wednesday of the month actually falling on the 1st.
This month the first Wednesday in April falls on the 5th.
So I will be collecting your Swale Foodbank donations at the bus stop opposite the church again on Wednesday the 5th of April, between 10:30am and 11:30am.
Please bring your items in carrier bags. We will then deliver them to the Swale Foodbank Warehouse, part of the Trussell Trust.
All donations are helpful, providing the food is long life and well within date.
When I started collecting for the Foodbank by waiting in the layby, those of you who were there from the beginning will remember that my husband Ron was helping me. Ron became ill around September 2021 and could no longer help. Sadly he passed away on the 12th of February this year.
Despite such a terrible loss, God willing, I will continue to be in the layby on the first Wednesday of every month because I want to support those who are struggling, as I know you also want to help them too.
Thankfully Sue and Georgina from St Mary's are helping and supporting me to continue - bless them.
Thank you 🙏🏼
