“Father, Help all those who are alone, utterly alone; those who bleed from a wound no-one can ever heal; those who have locked in the silence of their hearts a harvest of humiliations despairs and hatreds”.
Hello St John’s and St Martin’s
On behalf of the SVP Fleetwood Food Bank, I would like to thank all of you for your very generous support over many months.
The Food Bank has been in operation for 5/6 years in various rented rooms in Fleetwood. We have a very loyal group of about 15 volunteers who turn up rain or shine to pack and give out food parcels each Wednesday between 10.00am and 3.00pm at the Emmanuel, e Mount Building, Fleetwood.
All our food, and on some occasions money, is donated by churches, schools, individuals and Kirkham Open Prison. We receive no financial support from any statutory organisations. In 2015, we gave out over 2,500 food parcels which helped to feed over 5,000 persons, adults and children from Fleetwood, orn- ton Cleveleys, Poulton and Over Wyre Areas. Without your help this would not have been possible.
Please remember the Food Bank in your prayers as we remember all our very generous supporters in our morning prayer. Many thanks once again.
Colin Brown, Secretary, SVP Fleetwood Food Bank.
