COMMUNITY EMERGENCY FOOD BANK (CEF) CEF, based at St Francis Church, Cowley, provides nutritionally balanced food parcels for individuals and families in temporary crisis or hardship. If you would like to help, please put your donations of non-perishable foods into the CEF box which can be found in the Adam de Brome Chapel every Sunday. Currently there is a particular need for tinned vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, longlife milk and juices, and practical toiletries - but all donations welcome.
