From Family Support Work:

T

hank you for your support with the donations from Harvest – it really makes a difference to the lives of the families we work with. For many families in low paid employment there simply isn’t enough money to go around. This means that sometimes food is short, or it may be that toiletries aren’t bought – but the gifts that the Churches across the Diocese bring to FSW really do make a difference.

A box that was sent out recently was to a family who have just had a caravan holiday – the first family holiday ever and the supply of food from FSW topped off the week for them. Imagine that you struggle to pay your bills and feed your family, even though you are working. Then you have the children home for 6 weeks without school lunches, or perhaps 2 or 3 children including a teenager with hollow legs - how do you cope? Where will the extra food come from? In the summer months we see the need for food boxes increase as that school meal is missed; so it really does make a difference.

Over the year we will support a family with top ups for the basics such as pasta, beans and soup, along with cereals and pasta sauce, but we also send out treats at Christmas and during the summer months. Please be sure that your food not only makes a difference, but is really appreciated.

On behalf of all the families we feed across Sussex, thank you for your generous gifts.
