City Mission


Today was amazing. We went to the City Mission and had a chat with Mary Woods, who works there. She showed us around the Foodbank and how it works (it wasn't like a vending machine which was news to Florry!) We have learnt about how the City Mission is run from the generosity of others. Mary challenged us to come back and organise a group of 10-15 people. She wants us to help sort the food that comes in from the public, as it has to be organised into separate family bags.


 


Our challenge is to gather a group of ten people, whether they are an adults, students or teachers and ask them to give up some of their time to assist us. Mary talked to us about the gift of time and how sometimes thats more valuable then money.

  2. it's so cool that your helping the city mission help families in need of food. they don't know how lucky they are having kind caring people like you helping them out with food. that way they don't need to worry about having enough money to buy the food that they need to live a healthy life.

  6. It's wonderful to see young people showing concern for the welfare of others less fortunate, in their communities.
