COGS CHARITIES PAGE
FOOD BANK
The Church of the Good Shepherd operates a weekly food bank, offering support to local families and individuals who cannot afford the essentials of life.
Parcels are collected (or if necessary, delivered) each Monday morning.
We work with referral agencies to identify those in need. However, emergency parcels can be arranged as we know life doesn’t always stick to a schedule!
To get in touch contact Nigel on (01732) 882408
If you would like to donate to the food bank, the church building is open during the day, and non-perishable items may now be left in collection bins in the church porch.
Non-perishable food items continue to be most welcome in supporting local struggling families during these difficult times.
As always, thank you so much for your generosity, it continues to make a real difference
As well as our own charity, The Church of the Good Shepherd also supports others in their work
