Life Boxes
The Stockport Islamic Centre is collecting 'life boxes' full of dried foods, bottled water and other essential items. At first they started the appeal by asking people to donate boxes but as the boxes and the contents of the box have to be specific, the Islamic Centre has arranged a discount deal with all the major Cash and Carrys who are supplying the contents of the boxes at minimal cost. Therefore they are taking donations of £10 per box which provides the basic essentials for the flood victims. For more information please contact Bev Sellen or Elizabeth Young at the Stockport Partnership Office on 0161 474 3127
Taking Money Abroad
