Foodbank Update for January 2025

Happy New Year!  I hope you and all the congregations had a blessed Christmas.

I’m writing with a new list for the new year of items we particularly need for the Foodbank just now.  Things continue much as at the end of the year.  We closed for Boxing Day but opened on 2 January when we had a steady trickle of needy folks, very relieved to find us open and quite well stocked.  There were no deliveries from FareShare over the Christmas/New Year period, but we had ordered a delivery from Sainsbury’s for the 2^nd, feeling relieved ourselves that we still have money to spend in such situations!

Thanks to all our churches for their support and generosity throughout 2024.  Sadly, it looks as if Foodbanks will be a feature for a long time yet.  Please pray that strong support will continue for Newington Foodbank+ in 2025.
