SUNDAY, November 17 was “Shoebox Sunday” at Crediton Methodist Church, when some 50 shoeboxes were taken to the church to be blessed before being sent to International Aid – a charity known for Christian Compassion for a Hurting World.

International Aid Trust provides help as it collects, sorts and distributes millions of pounds of much-needed humanitarian aid to places as varied as Albania, Ukraine, Liberia, Serbia, Romania, Sieria Leone, Mexico, Cuba, India and the Philippines.

A lorry will shortly be leaving Crediton packed with clothing, blankets and a large number of shoeboxes – not just the 50 but those made up throughout the year by members of Crediton Methodist Church. This will be the third lorry to leave Crediton this year.
