Boaz Family Nights are a great opportunity for clients, ex-clients, trustees, volunteers and other supporters to gather together once a term. This month’s gathering was due to be next Tues 24th but has now been changed to Saturday 28th April, from 7pm. Please put it in your diaries and join us for an evening of food, prayer, worship and stories of hope and encouragement!
For more details visit our Events page. All welcome!
Did you know- 50% of our clients rely on the Red Cross for their food each week. We have now come to the end of the Lent Endurance Challenge this year and can announce with great delight that we have raised over £1150 so far! The even better news is there is still time to donate- click here to go to the Team Boaz page…
To everyone who has taken part, well done! We’d love your feedback on how you found the experience- what did you miss the most? What did you think of the parcel? How did you use 250g of salt?! Stories from participants to follow in the next few weeks.
Yes, it’s finally arrived, the week of the Team Boaz (office staff/volunteers) Lent Endurance Challenge. It’s not a week anyone has been looking forward to (as the Boaz team are particularly big fans of chocolate and anything particularly tasty… who isn’t?!) but it is a week that we’re hoping will raise a lot of money for our work.
What is the Lent Endurance Challenge? It’s quite simple- to live for a week on a Red Cross food parcel that, for many of our clients and other destitute asylum seekers across the UK, is their only source of food, to raise awareness about destitution and to raise money for our work!
The contents of the food parcel are (roughly):
1 orange
1 apple
1 banana
1 pear
1 green pepper
2 onions
1 tin of baked beans
1 tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce
1 tin of tomatoes
1 tin of vegetable soup
1 tin of tomato soup
1 tin garden peas OR kidney beans
1 tin of sweetcorn
1 small tin of tuna
1 small tin of sardines
Peanuts (small bag)
Biscuits (1 pack)
Loaf of bread
250g pasta
250g long grain white rice
250g Semolina
250g sugar
250g salt
250ml vegetable oil
12 teabags
1 carton of apple OR orange juice (1 litre)
1 carton of UHT longlife milk (1 litre)
Thanks to all those who have donated so far- we’ve raised £175 which is fantastic. However we’d love to raise even more, so please do consider supporting us with a donation today- thank you!
