Reverse Advent Calendar
What's it for?
To help those who are less fortunate than us, and who - without support - may face a grim Christmas.
How does it work?
Instead of opening a new door everyday for ourselves, add food or toiletries etc. to the box.
Please bring the full box to Whitmore Church by 19th December.
The contents will be taken to Newcastle foodbank by church volunteers.
Please help someone less fortunate to have a better Christmas!
