Autumn Collection for Refugees. 2016
In autumn 2015 the Weobley and Staunton Group of Parishes responded to the plight of refugees in Europe by collecting essential items and food at the churches of the Group, and then taking those donations to Leominster Priory from where they were sent to places like Calais, Dunkirk and Lesbos. This autumn our churches are again offering to serve as collection points, allowing the compassion of our villages to reach people in great need.
The following items and foodstuffs are particularly needed at this time:
• Tents
• Sleeping bags
• Blankets
• Men’s clothing
• tinned fish(tuna, sardines, mackerel) – ring pull only
• tinned goods(tomatoes, chickpeas, kidney beans, vegetables) – ring pull only
• tinned fruit and vegetables
