THE Co-operative Food store in Grappenhall is now an official collection point for Warrington Foodbank, an organisation that provides emergency food supplies for local people in need.
Customers at the Knutsford Road store are being encouraged to buy one extra thing during their weekly shop and place it in the charity collection point inside.
David Appleton, Manager of The Co-operative Food store said: “The economic climate is tough, and many families are feeling the strain. Donations don’t have to be expensive, from a tin of beans to a packet of pasta, just one extra item in your weekly shop can make a real difference to those in need.”
Tinned foods, dried pasta, cooking sauces, as well as tea, coffee and toiletries are all welcome.
John Dolan, Project Co-ordinator at Warrington Foodbank said: “It’s awful to think that any of our neighbours would be going hungry. Having a collection box in The Co-operative Food store is a convenient way of enabling customers to help out those people living in food crisis.”
