Crediton is sending love to needy children and families in Moldova and Ukraine this Christmas with shoeboxes filled with gifts.

The community has put together 110 Christmas shoeboxes.

Biffo Holland and his wife Jan took the filled boxes to Hugh Scudder, of the charity Christian Response to Eastern Europe, based in Exmouth, which has been supporting the poor in Moldova for more than 30 years.

The boxes were filled by Margaret Tucker from Crediton, Biffo and Jan’s family and friends and members of Crediton Methodist Church.

In addition, Biffo and Jan took 14 bags of clothes to donate.

Margaret and Biffo wish to thank all those who donated items for the boxes.
