Morrisons has announced that it will continue to support its local community by joining the national effort to help prevent holiday hunger this summer.
Over the coming weeks, Morrisons Community Champions, Laura Ward and Julie Knighton at Bishop Auckland will work closely with Bishop Auckland Parish, helping to provide the food they need most.
On August 8, £150 was awarded to the Parish from the community food programme that Morrisons invests in. This aims to support families and children by preventing holiday hunger.
Morrisons 497 stores and 25 manufacturing and logistic sites, will support school holiday activity programmes, arranged by local schools, community groups and HAF (the Holiday Activities and Food Programme). Morrisons will donate £100,000 of food to local holiday clubs across the country this summer. To help those in need, Morrisons gives surplus food to local causes, such as food banks through its unsold food programme.
