Requests update

I apologise for not having updated the requests last week, but thank you for all the food that has come in anyway - we are so grateful for all your donations. At the moment we are running low on the following:
  • Any food suitable for someone with no cooking facilities
  • Tinned meat and tinned fish
  • Tinned vegetables, tomatoes and kidney beans
  • Instant mashed potato and tinned potatoes
  • All varieties of tinned vegetables
  • Tinned spaghetti, ravioli, macaroni cheese etc
  • Desserts - fruit, custard, rice and other puddings
  • Small bags of sugar
  • Pasta sauces
  • Toiletries, especially deodrants

When we make up a food bag we try to cater for 2-3 days' meals, (breakfast, lunch and evening meal) and as you can see, that covers a fair chunk of what we're short of. If you are able to spare just one or two cans, they can make such a difference, especially to the person who is given them. When you are so desperate that you have to ask for food, or when you haven't had anything to eat for a couple of days, that tin or packet of food makes a BIG impact. And our aim is, as it says on the bags we give away, to show a token of God's love. Thank you for all you do in making that happen.
