Little Free Pantry
We did reluctantly suspended the use of the LFP for a while but we have reopened it with request for Food (no bread)and Toiletries as we continue to help people in the community who are struggling. We have heard from the Parish Council that they are prepared to relocate the Little Free Pantry onto their site. We are awaiting this to happen.
Please pray for the people who have been using this facility and those who have supported the project.-
