Collection for King's Church Foodbank
By Ray Simpson
Help the needy in the town
We will be holding our annual collection for the King’s Church Foodbank at the Telford match on Saturday, so now's the time to buy a little extra in your weekly foodshop, or to check your food storage at home for "in-date" items.
The King’s Church Foodbank is situated on Whessoe Road and is part of a network of foodbanks across the town. Other centres include Grange Road Baptist Church, St. Mary’s Community Centre in Cockerton, St. Andrew’s Church in Haughton-le-Skerne and St. Columba Church on Clifton Road.
The Foodbank is a place where anyone who finds themselves in times of hardship can come and receive an emergency bag of food.
The King’s Church is always grateful for any food donations they receive. However, this year we have asked them to let us know of any specific items that are in high demand. Therefore, if you could bring any items to the AFC Telford match from the following list, they would be particularly welcome
UHT Milk Tinned Meats/ Fish Stuffing & Gravy
Instant Mash Tinned Potatoes Nuts
Rice Puddings Cereal Pasta or Curry Sauces
Hot Chocolate Coffee Male Teenage Gifts
Men’s Toiletries i.e. Deodorants and Shower Gel
Quakers fans have always given generously as can be seen in the photograph of the proceeds from last year’s collection.
