Swanage Foodbank
We have been experiencing a fewer number of requests during the

school summer holidays. However, we are expecting a large increase
this coming Autumn and Winter with the rising cost of living.

The following items are always most acceptable: Ideal for one person –
Small bags sugar and small boxes of teabags
Small jars of sauce for pasta (ideal for one person)
sweet and savoury biscuits. Tins of cold meat.

Thankyou all once again.
Blest by an Angel in disguise?

A few weeks ago, I was on Food Bank duty for the week. Our family from Canada had
returned home after being with us for a month, and we were feeling rather
ungracious and disgruntled that morning returning to our commitments!

Robin was transferring the Food bank collection donations from Budgens into
the car and I was loading in the fresh produce I’d just bought. A lady came up to
us and asked if we were involved with Food Bank and she handed us a
donation.. I said that was very kind of her, and she gave me what I thought was a
folded £10 note.

It’s always quite moving when people come up to us when
we’re collecting and give a donation or just interested in
the logistics of how we work. I looked at the lady’s
donation a few minutes later and realised it was £50!

I noticed her again waiting for ‘Day Lewis’ Pharmacy to
open, so I thanked her again and said that I felt quite
moved.by her kindness and generosity. She asked if I was a
Christian, I said yes and she pressed something into my
hand. Pictured right>

I felt truly blest and got on with the day in rather a different frame of mind to
earlier that morning!
