GOSBERTON FOODBANK I wanted to give you an update about our local foodbank. As you hopefully know, with the important help of church members a food bank was launched early in the “lockdown”. With the help of local headteachers and others we found a great need amongst certain families with school children who were struggling and now a number of others isolating at home, ill at home or otherwise facing a crisis. We have been supplying dozens of households in our own 3 parishes and also Donington and Surfleet. A small team have been buying, packing and delivering to many corners of our villages and beyond. We have received enthusiastic praise from the community and via the local press on a few occasions, and via our 3 local primary schools.Donations of food have come from local companies and also cash funding via parish and district council, county council and of course Gosberton church, other sources and individuals but the pot is now a bit depleted. We are sensing the need to keep going (albeit in a slightly smaller form) for some time yet, and do consider we need to stop at some point. However we do need some help to keep going at least till Spring 2021 – can you help? A big thank you to those who have already helped. Food donations can be left at the vicarage or church porch here in Gosberton. Money donations can be made by cheque to Gosberton Parochial Church Council or online to the account Ref 20-80-78 Ac 30446815 (Put Ref Food Bank) Even if you are not able to help, I hope this post puts you in the picture and that you will share in our gratitude to everyone who is helping. God bless you all, Revd. Ian Walters
