Today at assembly we reflected on why the harvest is a special time of year and how thankful we are to have food to eat every day. Following in the footsteps of St. Vincent De Paul we considered those who are less fortunate than ourselves and how we could help them. We welcomed a special visitor to our assembly, Heather from the Westminster Foodbank. Heather told us about the amazing work of the Westminster Foodbank and we considered which foods would be most suitable to donate. Please see if you have any of the items below at home and donate them to the Foodbank, thus helping a family in crisis.
Some ideas of suitable food items are below:
- Fruit Juice (Long-life Carton)
- Vegetables (Tinned)
- Fruit (Tinned)
- Sugar (250g or 500g)
- Milk (UHT or powdered)
- Tomatoes (Tinned)
- Rice Pudding (Tinned)
- Sponge Pudding (Tinned)
- Instant Mashed Potato
- Biscuits or snack bars
- Pasta Sauces (Jar)
- Soup (Tinned)
- Meat/Fish (Tinned)
- Rice/Pasta
- Jam
- Pulses (Tinned) e.g. kidney beans, lentils
- Tea Bags/instant coffee
- Cereals (not whole-wheat biscuits)
- Cooking oil (250ml)
Thank you for your support. We look forward to receiving lots of food to give to the Foodbank.
