Don’t forget the Foodbanks
A reminder that there is a collection point for donations for Food Bank at the back of each of our churches.
Grateful thanks to all who continue to support all food banks. We really appreciate your help, prayers and generosity.

The Upper Eden Foodbank: (collection point Our Lady of Appleby grey bin in the church porch) see the list in the porch at Our Lady’s for items needed.
As well as donations of food, financial donations are increasingly welcome and have made a great difference to other ways the Food Bank can help.
Alston Moor Food Bank: Go to alstonmoorfoodbank.org.uk for information, advice and contact details. They can only use money donations because they have no storage space but St Wulstan’s Church, Alston has a donation box. This has received cash totalling £50.75 from the newly-installed donation box in St Wulstan’s church. Thanks to everyone for their generosity. Kathy Reeds, Alston Moor Food Bank
