ONGOING APPEAL

Long life food from the above list (no fresh food please!) can be donated in our collecting boxes at The United Reformed Church in Street as well as Morrison’s and Earthfare stores in Glastonbury. There is also a small box in Nationwide. All the churches in “Churches Together in Glastonbury” will also take donations. Many of the churches in the wider coverage area of BA6 and BA16 will take your donations for the foodbank but please check with them first. Cash donations are also welcome – please consider filling in a Foodbank Gift aid form so that income tax can be reclaimed on your donation.
