As in previous years we are running an appeal throughout the Harvest season for donations of food and cash to support Lichfield Foodbank. The appeal will begin with the Charity Concert on Saturday 6 September for which tickets continue to be available – please see the separate notice for details - and end with the Harvest Thanksgiving Service which this year will take place on Sunday 12th October at 10.00 am. All of the offering taken at that service will go to the appeal.

Donations of food can be placed in the box at the back of Church and cash donations can either be put on the plate on a Sunday, or in the donations box just inside the main door. Please put in an envelope marked ‘Harvest’, and if you are a tax payer please use one of the green Gift Aid envelopes. The card machine will also be available for donations at Sunday services.

The need remains very high, and in the three months to the end of June the Foodbank provided bags containing several days’ worth of food in support of 1343 adults and 563 children. Thank you for your continued generosity. It is enormously appreciated by the Foodbank and those in receipt of the food donated / purchased.
