Christmas Appeal
CHRISTMAS APPEAL
“Considering others during Advent”
Many thanks to all who donated to this appeal for the Sudan via Christian Aid and for the Vale Foodbank.
Many kindly gave for the Sudan including some donations from Sully. We are very pleased to let you know that we collected £473.24 including gift aid. This has been banked and gratefully received. Many thanks for all your kind donations.
We were also pleased with the appeal for the Vale Foodbank. Your donations of food and Christmas goodies were very generous. Each week in December there was a car boot full of gifts which delighted those sorting and delivering parcels from the warehouse. In addition, we collected £310 (including gift aid) which will be used to purchase specific foods when items are in short supply.
The warehouse was closed for one week during the Christmas period, and we were pleased we had ongoing donations to deliver during January. Staple items requested throughout the year include:
Tinned meat, and vegetables including potatoes, dried instant snacks, tinned fish, tinned spaghetti and soups, milk and sponge puddings and custard, long life fruit juice and milk, cereals, peanut butter and sandwich spreads, toiletries, and treats.
We will continue to deliver goods weekly to the warehouse and would be grateful for any donations placed in the boxes in the church porch (they are emptied on a regular basis)
