It’s exciting to know that our support of the Salvation Army food bank continues to help needy families. Recently, Alison has been involved with the ‘Love Where You Live’ team, working on community clean-ups (and feeding all the volunteers who were involved in this!)
In addition to the support given by individuals and local churches, the Salvation Army will now be receiving food via collaboration between FareShare and Tesco’s. Once a week, chilled and fresh food and bakery items nearing their sell-by dates will be given to the food bank, which will be a great help!
The Salvation Army is involved with a range of activities to help the community, including a job club on Mondays, a Choose to Lose weight management class on Fridays (similar to the one held at GPCC on Tuesdays at 11 a.m.) and a crochet class. Volunteers are always welcome, so if you have spare time during the week, do drop in on Mondays or Fridays.
