Please be patient during this time.

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

Swale Foodbank Collection

Dear Upchurch,

Thankfully it hasn't been too cold so hopefully, people aren't having to use too much of their precious money on heating - but nevertheless, things are getting very tricky for those who already find feeding their family a struggle. I am buying more and more own brands as the cost of food shoots through the roof. Where do those who have always bought own brands go from here?

We will be collecting your Swale Foodbank donations at the bus stop opposite the church again on Wednesday the 2nd of November, 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.

You always amaze us with your generosity - bless you ♥️

I have spoken to Richard, and the usual tinned meat meals, milk, and juice are in short supply, but more urgent are hygiene products, especially toilet rolls. They need everything! They need God's love shown and shared in your outstanding generosity.

'A Cuppa and a Chat'

While you are there, why not call into the church for 'A Cuppa and a Chat' and a piece of cake in the Lady Chapel.

We will have the kettle on from 10:00am until 12:00pm.

Followed by a time of prayer for our village and our country at 12:00pm. For those who need God to give them his strength, peace and joy.

A warm welcome awaits you - just call in, and we will be pleased to see you!
