Toy collection for CVS and food bank information

Please see below details of stories recently in the local press.

The first is in relation to the annual toy collection made for the CVS by the local Methodist Church.  This is a much valued collection for those who can not afford toys for Children  The last collection for toys will be this coming Saturday 6th December.

Similarly, the next story features a report on the demand for Food Parcels which seems to rise every year despite the lack of acknowledgement from the government last year to the requirement for food banks.  The food parcels are collected and distributed by South Derbyshire CVS.  There is also a food bank collection point at Sainsbury's local at Glamorgan Way.

Furthermore to the above, the Burton Mail is now running a campaign to promote the food banks.  Whilst the below mainly applies to Burton there is a section on what items are best to donate.
