    We have our last Shaftesbury Food Aid Support Service today 😟 but you can still visit Open House every Tuesday between 10 - 12. 😊
    We have lots of surplus bread and veg this morning, so please feel free to pop up and see us at Father's House if
    you can use any of it.
    After 12 noon everything left over will be left outside the front door.
