You are invited to collect, make or purchase some items to add to the bags/baskets that will be delivered to those on lockdown, ill, isolated etc. Below you will find ideas for your donations. You can donate a couple of things or make many so each household that we will be delivering to has something from you in their bag/basket. Items need to be delivered to church by Sunday, September 6. Please drop items off in the collection box in front of the glass doors at Joy (next to benches.)
