Foodbank Collection for King's Church

 

At our next home match, which will be against Guiseley on Saturday 3rd November, we will be holding our annual collection for the King’s Church Foodbank.

The King’s Church Foodbank is situated on Whessoe Road and is part of a network of foodbanks across the town. The other centres are at St. Mary’s Community Centre in Cockerton, St. Andrew’s Church in Haughton-le-Skerne and St. Columba Church on Clifton Road. 

The foodbanks are an emergency food resource for people who are unable to feed themselves or their families due to financial difficulties or crisis.

The King’s Church is always grateful for the donations that they receive, especially non-perishables such as baked beans, soup, UHT milk, tinned meats/fruit and pasta or rice, which helps the foodbank to make up a well-balanced bag of food.

Quakers fans have always given generously as can be seen in the photograph of the proceeds from last year’s collection.

If you’re unable to attend the Guiseley match, or you forget to take your contribution to the collection, don’t worry because there are designated donation boxes around town, including Sainsburys and Co-op stores, or you can take donations directly to collection points listed above. Supplies often run low, so donations of food are always gratefully received.
