Foodbank Fridays
St Leonard’s Church and the people of Keevil support Storehouse Food Bank based in the United Church in Trowbridge, which provides food and support when people need it most. Norman retrieves our donations from the Collection Box in the Church Porch and takes them to Storehouse every other Friday. Thank you!
