PENWORTHAM FOOD BANK – URGENT APPEAL:

The demands on the foodbank have increased and our church is involved as one of the collection points in our community involvement.  We thank all parishioners who have donated food in the past but the need for further supplies and of  financial donations to meet the need is now critical.  How to donate are detailed on the poster which is the third attachment.  They are appealing this week particularly for:-

· Rice

· Tins of meat

· Tinned tomatoes

· Jam/Marmalade

 Value range goods are preferred, but everything is welcome.  There is a box for donated items at back of church near the west door. Food can also be taken direct to Kingsfold Community Centre, on Kingsfold Drive,  on any Friday morning from 9.30am.

 Collections available if required - phone Gillian or Adrian Carlton on 01772 742257.

GIVING AND DONATIONS

 

Since the lockdown started it has been  difficult for parishioners to maintain their giving through the collection plate although many parishioners  make their giving using Direct Debit or Standing Order. If you feel you would like to help St. Mary's financially please would you send an e-mail to info@penwortham-stmary.co. uk.  We will contact you to discuss which method you woud prefer, from a one-off donation to regular giving.
