Jigsaw -
By Deb Haworth
All of the Jigsaw ministries continue to
reach out to the poor, those in need
and the homeless in the Derbyshire
Dales. Our befriending work helps by
supporting people through change
and standing with them in difficulty.
All of the services we offer through
Jigsaw provide opportunities for this
befriending. We currently provide a
household goods service, on average,
once a month and we are looking
forward to purchasing our van and
putting it to use.
Ways in which you can help Jigsaw:
• Prayer – the work we do is practical but the battles we face
are spiritual and we need the constant prayer cover of our
brothers and sisters in Christ;
• Recycle – clothes for the clothes bank, especially for boys
and teenagers – most of our clients are young single people
or families with children;
• Tins – non-perishable goods can be left in the Tin Bin on a
Sunday morning and go into our crisis food parcels;
• Treats – our market garden parcels regularly provide meat,
vegetables, bread and eggs to 17 local households. We try
to supplement this with groceries and the occasional treat
and any contributions are very welcome;
• Donate – your unwanted household goods could be the
start of someone’s new home. We provide everything that is
needed from tea towels to washing machines.
Tin Bin
Every Sunday there is
a black plastic ‘Tin Bin’
near the Tea & Coffee
table. Any tins given
are used
for the
crisis
food
parcels
for people
referred to
Jigsaw.
Don’t non-perishable
goods only.
Egg Boxes
Empty egg boxes can
now be put
into the Tin
Bin as well.
The boxes
will be
filled with
eggs for
the weekly
Market Garden
Food Parcels.
