THE MISSION GROUP
HARVEST FESTIVAL
This is advance notice of our Harvest Service on Sunday 9th October.
For many years we have supported HAB (Homeless Action in Barnet) at Harvest time. HAB is run by volunteers. They look after about 20 or so homeless people, many of whom are asylum seekers or refugees. The people go to the “house” in North Finchley where they can have drinks and breakfast, wash their clothes, have a shower, see a dentist or doctor on some days. Also, they are helped with housing etc.
Due to Covid they had to cut down severely with numbers of guests. They used to make dinner(lunch) for about a hundred every day of the week before that.
Our list of food for that changed last year, but it’s not that different now, due to threats of Covid and flu outbreaks which may arise. So, people are given easy cook and prepacked food to take with them instead of dinner.
Here is a list of food and other suitable items - Long Life Milk
Tea, Coffee, Chocolate drink, biscuits, chocolate bars, crisps.
Pot Noodles - Please note “No Pasta or Rice, only Uncle Bens Instant Rice.
Tins of vegetables, baked beans, spaghetti, fish in tins, tins of fruit or anything tinned.
Or other items including - Laundry Tablets, Shower gels and Shampoo, Shaving cream, razors, tooth brushes and paste (Mostly men guests).
If you have shoes for men (barely used), socks or jumpers and coats in excellent condition and no longer needed, then those are very welcome.
Or cash also helps HAB run the whole excellent service.
Please try to support homeless people who are in great need.
God Bless You,
