Swale Foodbank Collection - September

Swale Foodbank Collection

Dear Upchurch,

A big thank you to everyone who came along with their generous foodbank donations on Wednesday the 2nd of August

It was a quieter month, but you still gave a good amount to the foodbank. 

Thank you for digging deep and sharing God's love with the increasing number of families who find themselves trapped within the spiralling cost of living crisis. 

I'm so concerned about how the winter will look for vulnerable people. Thank you for standing with us as we try to make a small difference.

I will be collecting your foodbank donations at the bus stop opposite the church again on Wednesday the 6th of September, 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.

Thank you, and may God bless you ❤️
