“Whenever you do this for the least of my people, you do it for me.”

 

Please will you save your shoe boxes (all sizes)

 

It costs £2 per box to transport, so please try and donate your £2 coins which will be sellotaped to the boxes when covered and secured.

Last year Milton Abbas started late but still managed to fill 80 boxes!

Please will you help make this a BENEFICE EFFORT.

We will be filling the boxes together at St James, Milton Abbas, over coffee at the end of October, date to be arranged, so do join us. It is such fun and SOOOOOOOOOOO worthwhile.

Thank you, so much for helping, Sue Litchfield  01258 880054
