"As well as asking our customers, who are always so generous, the team will also be getting involved and making donations too. Hopefully, it will go some way to helping those in need locally."
The Warwick District Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
They believe that anyone in the community shouldn’t have to face going hungry. They provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to them in crisis.
To drop off a donation, visit the store at 17 The Square, Kenilworth CV8 1EF.
