As we’ve done in the past we’re going to donate the food we collect to the Resto du Coeur in Avon.

"Les Restos du Cœur" (literally Restaurants of the Heart) is a renowned nationwide non-profit association founded in 1985 by the iconic French comedian Coluche. It supports low-income individuals, single parents, the elderly, and the homeless by distributing hot meals, food packages, clothing, and providing long-term social support.

We’ve asked Mme Duca who runs the Resto in Avon for a list of items which they would particularly value at the moment. This is what she’s asked for:

• Sardines

• Ravioli en boîte (cans of ravioli)

• Canned vegetables

• Gros cartons des gâteaux (large boxes of cakes for snacks)

• Tea (black and green)

• Gel nettoyant pour bébé (baby cleansing gel)

Please simply bring your donated items to the service on October 4th. During the offertory hymn we’ll bring them to the front and place them around the altar table, in gratitude to God and as part of our prayer for Les Restos du Cœur and the people they serve.

Thank you so much.
