Volunteers from the Foodbank excelled themselves at the church fair on the 7th 
November with their baking skills. We had a stall at the fair and volunteers cooked and baked a fantastic array of cakes, buns, biscuits and tea loaves which were sold to raise funds for the Foodbank.
Our final total was around £350 which was mainly from the sale of thecakes but also included a number of financial donations.
Everyone was very generous and complimentary about the cakes which certainly looked yummy.We also had a Foodbank entry in the Gingerbread house competition, beautifully crafted by Mia, Trustee Lisa’s daughter. It looked terrific and could easily have won the competition but I think the Rainbows snatched the title with ‘cut appeal’! [see front cover for the
Rainbows’ entry – Ed]
But thank you Mia – please keep on baking!
We are now gearing up for Christmas and we need the usual Christmas fare such as non-alcoholic mince pies and chocolatey
biscuits. There is a list below and although the formal deadline has passed we will be very grateful for any tha
t you can provide. We will not be giving out toys this year because it is very difficult to
match toys to children but we are hoping to give each family a supermarket food e-voucher. But alongside the festive goodies we will continue to supply the basic staples so tins of tuna or packets of cereal are always welcome. Your generosity be it with food or financial donations is always welcome – thank you.
