Storehouse Update

Storehouse continues to be very busy. In September a total of 187 bags were given out, resulting from requests from 16 different agencies and 9 non-agency requests. This monthly total equalled that of January this year. In October we gave out 158 bags, resulting from requests from 15 different agencies and 6 non-agency requests.

As a result of donations given at recent Harvest Services the Storehouse cupboards are full of tins. We do however need cereals (multi-packs if possible), UHT milk, tinned meat and tinned potatoes. We are so thankful to all the schools and churches that gave their food at Harvest. It is so encouraging to know that so many local people and organisations continue to support the work of Storehouse. We received donations from a total of eleven schools, fourteen churches and one Babes and Toddlers group. It was a privilege for members of the Storehouse Team to take part in three of the school Harvest Services.

We were blessed when two members of West Suffolk Vineyard Church gave a financial contribution towards Storehouse as a result of the sale of some greeting cards they had made. Thank you to both of them.

During a recent Sunday morning service we had an update from one of the workers from a local Drugs Agency, who encouraged us by saying how much the help we are able to give their clients is appreciated. It’s great to know that we are able to help these folk who have found themselves struggling to cope as a result of  changes that have been made affecting their State benefits.

Thank you to everyone who continues to give food towards the work of Storehouse. Without you we wouldn’t be able to show God’s love by meeting the practical needs of those in our community.

God bless you,

Andrew and Mary Soman
