Baby Singlets
Fingerless gloves (for children)
Jerseys (3 – 10year olds)
Slippers and socks – all sizes
Cot size or single bed size blankets.

Due to the big demand for food parcels, Family Works are in need of empty egg cartons – 6’s and 12’s to refill. These can be put in the food bank box, or near by. At the moment Family Works are making up food boxes for those folk isolating from COVID. They need good used magazines to be included in the boxes. There will be a labelled carton in each church foyer for these.Food Bank Items: Suggestions from Family Works. This is as well as the usual general sort of items:

Shampoo, conditioner & Deodorants, for both men and women.
Hand cream and soap.
Items for children’s lunches may include: budget biscuits, muesli bars and small packets of potato chips that come in a large bag that include several flavours.
