Christian Food Help – Update

Christian Food Help CFH are in the third year of their operation and have had another busy year. At the start of 2014 we were able to enlist the help of two more volunteers who throughout the year have diligently provided the additional support that has enabled CFH to meet the demand on its services. Most of the increased demand has come from those organisation that deal directly with families in crisis. One sign of encouragement has been the levelling of demand for food parcels during the final quarter of 2014.
