Reverse Advent Calendar
A Reverse Advent Calendar consists of a small gift, every day of Advent, bought for a person in need. Below, there is a list of 24 items for your reverse calendar. It is perfectly fine to include, for example, a multipack of chocolate bars (Penguin bars may be bought in packs of eight) and that would count as eight separate items. If you would rather, send Margaret Dykes a donation of £24 (or more if you can!) and she will purchase from the Traidcraft range in your name.
Boxes, labelled 'REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR' will be at the back of church, behind the old font. If you choose to join in, please feel free to bring your gifts during advent - that will make it easier to get items to the food bank all through advent.

Don't waste food
-
Vegetables freeze well - remember to label them!
-
Cake freezes well too - should you have any left!
Rethink crackers!
-
Google 'make your own crackers' - there are a lot of suppliers. A great pre-lunch activity.
-
Or consider a table game - play a game of Consequences, or charades.
-
Make your own paper hats. (need to research this a bit!)
