Mary’s Meals Collecting your unwanted clothes
Mary’s Meals wants your unwanted clothing and bedding (no duvets or pillows please) and will be at our church until 11am on Sunday 4th March to collect them all. Put your clothing/bedding into tied sacks and bring them to church where the charity Mary’s Meals will be here to pick them up.
Amazingly 4 full black sacks of good quality clothing will feed a child one good nutritious meal every school day for a whole year! Mary’s Meals is a charity that sets up school feeding programmes in communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education.
Love in Action takes off this weekend – Collecting for the Food Bank
In collaboration with Churches Together/Broxbourne Food bank, we will begin today to collect food in the Parish. A large box will be placed to the right of the altar for you to place your donations which will then be taken to the local food bank. Sadly there is an increasing need for us to support those less advantaged than us. As you may know donations should be tinned or dried foods with a good shelf life. At present they also urgently need:
- Tinned fruit (400gms)
- Boxes/packs of Tea bags
- Dried pasta (500gms)
- UHT milk (1 litre)
- Breakfast Cereals.
We hope to continue this ‘Love in Action’ throughout the year.
CAFOD Family Fast Day
There will be a second collection next week for CAFOD following Family fast Day on Friday 23rd February. This year your donation will make double the difference. The Government will match fund every pound that you give to CAFOD up to a total of £5 million.
