`Do not turn your face away from anybody who is poor’. When shopping this week why not buy a little extra (non-perishable food or toiletry items) and bring it along on Sunday to our Fresh Start box (at the back of St. Peter’s) or to the back of St Columba’s. Most of us do not experience real hunger, most of us have toiletries and basic household goods but many do not.
