Thank You.

This makes quite a generous 1 person food parcel, so the quantity or size, can be increased for some items for additional people.

Please do not worry if you cannot complete your collection before Christmas, these items are designed to help our stocks of food over the coming Winter months. So the collection could be completed and delivered in the New Year.

We will be more than happy to supply a thank you letter or certificate if collecting on behalf of a school. Just email sarah@fcg.org.uk for more information.
