It brings light and warmth to the most hopeless of situations, reminding people that they are not alone. Please donate today. SHARE donation brochure and envelopes are available during Share Month - June 2010. Helen Turnham ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volunteers are needed to donate some time to work at Pallotti. You can donate from a couple of hours,, to an overnight or a few days, as help to clean etc. is greatly needed and appreciated. One gets free food and accommodation (if one stays overnight). You never know, someone just may feel like helping out at some time. A great place to go anyway, and spend a day there, and just do a few hours work. Many Thanks on behalf of Pallotti.
