A CHARITY delivering emergency food to struggling families will benefit from a year’s fundraising thanks to Sainsbury's Ellesmere Port customers and colleagues.
Food Bank was chosen as Sainsbury’s new local charity partner Ellesmere Port for 2012/2013.
The announcement comes after the store asked its customers to vote for the local charity they should provide a year’s support to from May 9-23.
The partnership launched on June 20 and customers can choose to make a donation in-store to Food Bank, which will be situated in the Trinity Methodist Church, Whitby Road.
During the next 12 months the charity will benefit from Sainsbury’s Local Charity partner scheme, now in its fourth year. Colleagues will provide fundraising support for Food Bank and raising awareness of the charity.
Sainsbury’s Ellesmere Port store manager Anthony Clegg said: “Food Bank is such a worthy local cause and we’re pleased and proud to be supporting it over the next 12 months.
“We’ll be letting our customers know of our fundraising plans in-store and we hope they can join our colleagues in helping support them.”
