Foodbank NEWS

Update - w/e 7/6/2026

For the first 5 months of the year, your donations to the foodbank total 233kg. Well done and thank you, though you may wish to know that at the same time last year, donations amounted to 280kg. The central foodbank informs us that they have 89 fewer food crates than this time last year, so your ongoing support remains crucial and much appreciated especially considering recent rises in food and energy prices.

By way of reminder, there are two marked boxes in the Narthex for your physical donations and cash can be donated via the contactless machines in the Narthex.
