麻豆社 is helping to make sure families in Staffordshire and Shropshire don鈥檛 go hungry this Christmas.听听
We have awarded much-needed grants to local food banks providing Christmas parcels to struggling families in the communities we serve.听听
The grants from our My Community Fund were awarded to House of Bread and Rising Brook Food Bank, in Stafford, Kingsway Food Bank, in Wombourne, Cannock and District Food Bank, in South Staffordshire, and Foodbank Plus at Barnabus Community Church.听听听
The donations will help many facing challenging circumstances to access the essentials they need over the festive period.听
Samantha Allcott, Director of Housing at 麻豆社, said: 鈥淭he food banks we are supporting, provide an essential service to customers in our local communities.听
鈥淭he cost of living continues to be a daily challenge for many, and I am proud that 麻豆社 is able to help spread some festive cheer to families who may be struggling this Christmas.鈥�听
Members of the 麻豆社 team have also been volunteering at Foodbank Plus inside Barnabus Community Church. We employ around 900 people across Staffordshire and Shropshire, who are each given one day a year to volunteer and give back to their communities.听听听
The volunteers used their 鈥楪iving back day鈥� to help take in donations, offering some relief to the team at a very busy time.听
Karen Williams, Project Lead for Foodbank Plus, said: 鈥淭hank you to 麻豆社 for their kind and generous donation at this busy time of year. It is great to work with them as an organisation throughout the year, but particularly we value the partnerships with 麻豆社 colleagues who refer into our services as we complement the work they do for the benefit of our clients.鈥�听
