SAFFERY ROTARY WALK
The iconic Saffery Rotary Walk, an annual event raising funds for Guernsey charities, is back for another year, and this time, St Andrew's in the Grange Church is proud to be one of the beneficiaries.Our Kirk is a vibrant Church of Scotland community dedicated to serving the island. However, our historic building requires accessibility improvements to truly become a welcoming hub for all. You can help St Andrew's raise funds to make our church more accessible and inclusive. Imagine the joy of seeing everyone, regardless of mobility, easily participating in their services, events, and community activities.
But the benefits extend far beyond the church walls. The Saffery Rotary Walk supports 21 diverse charities.
Here's how you can get involved:
• Sign up for the walk: https://safferyrotarywalk.org.gg/registration.
• Sponsor Justin: https://sportsgiving.co.uk/sponsorship/entry/1134396
• Spread the word: Share the love on social media and encourage your friends and family to join the cause.
FOODBANK
Many families are struggling to put food on the table. The foodbank is a vital resource that helps to provide nutritious meals to those in need. And you can make a difference by donating to the foodbank dropoff in the vestibule.
To see our local foodbanks need, go to https://www.bankthefood.org
Every donation, no matter how big or small, is appreciated. A can of soup, a box of pasta, or a jar of peanut butter can help provide a meal for a needy family.
Donating to the foodbank is easy. Simply drop off your non-perishable food items at the foodbank dropoff in the vestibule.
