Sheringham church feeds needy local families
Lighthouse Community Church in Sheringham provided fruit and vegetable parcels for 86 North Norfolk families over the February half term, following a successful packed lunch project last October. Tony Rothe reports.
A team of volunteers gathered at the church on the Tuesday of half term to compile the food parcels from the supplies of fruit, vegetables and eggs which had been provided by
Sheringham greengrocers
Sheringham, Cromer, Holt, Bodham, Northrepps, and surrounding villages.
The initiative started last October when
Lighthouse Community Church, determined to provide some help to the community during pandemic restrictions, contacted North Norfolk Children’s Services to see what they could do. From this, Operation Packed Lunch was conceived in order to provide packed lunches, as the name suggests, for vulnerable families, on four days during October Half Term.
