As most of you know Community Payback have done a lot of work for us over the last few years in particular bringing back overgrown gardens so they are easier to relet and jobs around the communal areas which have saved a few of us a lot of hard work. This year they took on a garden for their own with regular supervisor, Ben.
It was badly overgrown and after improving it they started to grow veg. Their produce like everyone’s is now ready. They are donating their fruit and vegetables to
ST PAUL’S PRESBYTERY SOUP KITCHEN at Lenton.
They are feeding lunch to 20 to 40 people each weekday. All are vulnerable and some homeless. Although they get dry goods donated they do not receive fresh fruit and vegetables from any other source. Nothing is wasted and anything not used is passed onto another local kitchen.
So if you have any surplus crops that you really don’t need please consider donating them to the the group who will deliver them to the St Paul’s every friday morning. You can take produce to the garden 34 (Joe’s old one) 4th up from the Association Building early on Friday mornings or let me know you have something and i will take it from you and pass it on myself.
Many thanks
