Service of Thanksgiving celebrating the 35th Anniversary of All Saints’ Food Bank

Ken Stevenson, Chairperson of the Foodbank Committee and Councillor Bruce Kendell.

On Sunday 26 July 2026 we gathered for a joyful and heartfelt Service of Thanksgiving celebrating the 35th Anniversary of All Saints’ Food Bank. It was a wonderful occasion as we gave thanks for three and a half decades of faithful service to our community, reflecting on the thousands of lives touched through the generosity and compassion of so many people. We were delighted to welcome back The Rev’ds Bruce and Diane to lead us in worship, and we thank them sincerely for sharing this special milestone with us. Our thanks also go to all the guests who attended, helping to make the celebration such a memorable occasion. We are especially grateful to the Food Bank Committee for their dedication and hard work in organising the event and supporting this ministry throughout the years, and to the parish family for its continued encouragement, generosity, and unwavering support. Together, we celebrated not only a significant anniversary but also the spirit of service and fellowship that makes All Saints’ Food Bank such a valued part of our community.
