Foodbank Collection

On the first Saturday morning of every month, Toton Methodist Church accepts donations for Canaan Trust, a Long Eaton based charity supporting the homeless and those threatened with becoming homeless in our local communities. From 10-11.30am the church is also open for hot drinks and toasted teacakes, so feel free to pop in and see us when you bring along your donations!
