HELPING OTHERS

FARNHAM FOOD BANK: “If you previously donated food to the foodbank and are unable to do so for the time being, please do consider donating money online instead.  It is very easy. Go to the Farnham Foodbank Website.  Immediately you will see a red donate box in the top right hand corner. Click on it and then it is all self-explanatory”.

Please continue to put your donations of food in the Vicarage garage, and a member of the team will collect it regularly.

Urgently needed: tinned meat, instant mash, 1 litre carton long-life fruit juice and chocolate bars.

“Urgently needed food items” and “We’ve got plenty of…” are regularly updated on the Farnham Foodbank website – just click on “Donated food/Farnham Foodbank”.

Jacqueline holds Foodbank vouchers – please contact her if you or anyone you know would benefit.

Thank you for your continued support.”
