Last week our West Bromwich factory team donated generously to support a local food bank.
The Breaking Bread foodbank in Wednesbury was started in 2012 by the churches of Wednesbury and aims to help individuals and families who, through circumstances, find themselves in crisis. They provide the families with enough food to last three days and support many people within the community, but due to a drop in donations, it looked like they would have to reduce the support they could offer.
West Bromwich Plant Operations Manager Thomas Smylie said, "The volunteers said that they were pleased with the number of goods that were donated as they were going to have to reduce the number of people receiving food over the weekend due to running low on supplies, however, because of the donations that our team have made means that Breaking Bread will now be able to help more families than usual over the coming week.
The food bank relies entirely on donations, and our team is now looking to do a collection for it every month.
