• We leave boxes for donations outside our churches. Please continue to put things into them. A good time to do this is when the church is open or on Mondays when Doug will be in the porch from 9.30-10am.

• …And PRAY!

If you are in need of support with food whether you live alone, as a couple or a family, please contact Revd Mark Payne for help.

Ever walked into the supermarket, seen the Foodbank box and wondered what Foodbank needs this month? Have you tried the app BanktheFood? This app pings whenever you approach one of Braintree Area Foodbank donations points and will give you an up-to-date list of the items needed .

Vanessa, Public Relations Officer at Braintree Area Foodbank, writes:

Last year because demand went up, yet food donations went down, we had to spend over £85,000 in one year to cover the shortfall.  We have been lucky enough to have secured some grants but with this worrying trend continuing we dread to think how much our food bill will be in the coming year.  This is why any food donation made is vital.

Once again thank you all for your support.  Without your help we would not be able to continue our work.

You will also see below that it is now possible to make a financial donation to Foodbank straight from your pay packet. Foodbank also welcomes one-off monetary donations.
