1/ SHOUT Worthing Soup Kitchen would like to thank you at St Mary of the Angels all for your support for the Food Bank at 219 Tarring Road it has been greatly appreciated. We are able to open more often and tackle food waste better in our community. We are running half of the new premises as a charity shop – that should enable us to raise enough finances to cover the following year’s rent – as the food pantry will not make any money. St Mary’s have been very generous with weekly donations of food & there’s a box each end of the church with a list of the items required. Please donate what you can to help the poor & needy in our town.
