Harvest

Today, most U.K. churches have a Harvest Thanksgiving service. The church building may be decorated with a display of flowers and harvest produce, perhaps including a large loaf in the shape of a wheatsheaf. Often people bring more gifts of food to add to the display during the church service. Afterwards, the food will be sold to help those in need, or given directly to needy people.

Many churches have collections of food which will keep. These tinned and dried goods can be given to people who are in the most desperate situations, maybe locally, or perhaps in other countries.
