Harvest Celebration
This Sunday, 2nd October, is our Harvest Celebration at both 9:30 and 11am. This year, we'll be collecting donations for Kingston Foodbank, who do a fantastic job supporting people in our local area by providing three days’ nutritionally-balanced emergency food and support to people who are referred to them in crisis. Supported by The Trussell Trust, and founded by local churches and community groups, they are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
Money given through the collection at each service will be given to the Foodbank, and donations can also be made through the card machine (a great way to give, if you're able to include gift aid). We're also asking people to bring in donations of food and household items which can be used by Kingston Foodbank to make up their emergency parcels. Any long-life or non-perishable products would be appreciated, but there is currently an urgent need for the items listed below:
Please note that the Foodbank already has plenty of the following items: pasta, cereal, pulses (kidney beans, chickpeas etc.), baked beans, soup, pasta sauce, tea, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
