With the end of the school year fast approaching, Arnold Food Bank issued a huge thank you to Argos & Sainsbury’s for delivering 200 bags of breakfast food to support local children through the summer holidays.
Argos is based inside the Sainsbury’s store in Arnold and decided to donate £500 to a local good cause – and the local team chose Arnold Food Bank.
Sainsburys then chose to match the donation bringing the total donation to £1000 worth of breakfast food, including milk and juice, to help support families during the summer holidays.
Arnold Foodbank feeds 300 local children per month.
The foodbank in Arnold marked its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and revealed it had given out food to over 43,000 people during those 10 years – enough to fill the Nottingham Motorpoint Ice Arena four times over.
Thousands of people from across the borough are now turning to food banks, unable to afford to feed themselves and their families as the cost of living crisis continues.
Rising energy bills and the price of a weekly shop is leaving many going hungry.
