Support for church's soup kitchen

The church relies on donations of fresh, frozen, tinned and dried food to feed up to 50 people that attend the soup kitchen on a Wednesday evening.
"Our funeral home has been collection fresh and dried food on behalf of the local traders in Fratton Road for a number of weeks now and many members of the public have been calling into the branch to drop off donations," explained Rebecca. "We have also set up a donation trolleys at our local ASDA and Iceland stores which have both been a huge success."
The trolley at ASDA was emptied in November and there was approximately £146 worth of food donated. The items were handed over to Reverend Cliff Bembridge of the Buckland United Reformed Church by Rebecca, Kelly and Community Life Champion, Tracey Smith.
