In the coming weeks we will be collecting foreign or old currency for a charity called Mary's Meals who will gather it all together and use the proceeds to feed hungry children. The Smartie tin will be available in church for your donations of coins and notes. Any leftover money from foreign holidays or collections of old currency that you might have stumbled across would be gratefully received.
Mary’s Meals’ vision is that every child receives one daily meal in their place of education and that all those who have more than they need, share with those who lack even the most basic things. Working together with people who share their ideals, they believe that this vision can be achieved in this world where there is enough food for everyone.
For more information, please take a look at the Mary's Meals website.
