2023 Food Collection

The Society of St Vincent de Paul make up and distribute Christmas parcels and hampers locally to needy families as well as to individuals. This year, the project is being extended - the aim being to do the same as last year but covering a wider area. However, they can only do this with your support.

They are appealing for donations of non-perishable food items such as tinned, packeted, and dried food, bottled and tinned soft drinks, chocolates, snacks, biscuits and Christmas items such as mince pies, puddings, selection boxes and Christmas crackers. Games and jigsaws are also welcome.

The cut-off date for donations is Sunday 10 December to enable time for the preparation and distribution of the hampers.

Thank you to those who has already donated. Please can everyone bring something to enable Christmas to be enjoyed by all.
