HUGE THANK YOU to all who have collected and donated food. With an amazing 1767.13 kg of food donated in April. We are so grateful as the pantry has become very short of several items. Long life items are still the main priority, we are continuously short of UHT milk, jam and long-life cakes/puddings. Thank you!
Our Church Relies upon Personal Giving to Keep it Going.
