Urgent! Food Bank Collections
Food banks across the country are facing unprecedented demand,
and finding it increasingly difficult to meet the needs of such large numbers.
They desperately need more in the way of food donations,
and Carolyne Robinson was asked by the Hope Centre in Northampton
if she could coordinate efforts here for them and for the food banks
across the Northampton area with whom they are linked.
Some of our parishes have existing links with Jubilee Foodbank
in Market Harborough and these will continue
- they, too, have much greater need, so do think about donating to them.
There are collection boxes in the following locations: Marston Trussell Christine Otway 9 Main St directly opposite the church hall Sibbertoft Sue McCrae, 42 Welland Rise St Helen’s Church porch There will also be collection boxes out at the Saturday pop-up stalls. Welford
Lets make sure no one has to worry about food during this crisis. "I was hungry and thirsty" said Jesus "and you fed me" "Lord, when did we feed you?" asked the disciples. "When you fed anyone who was hungry," replied Jesus. See information in LINK below. Hope Centre - Village by village (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/helphope) Drop-off details as above or do contact Miranda or Carolyne to find out more, or perhaps arrange for one of us to collect from you.
