WORKSOP FOOD BANK WELCOMES AMAZON’S SUPPORT

Added by Love Business East Midlands | 28 July 2021

The Amazon fulfilment centre in Chesterfield has donated £1,000 worth of products to a food bank in Worksop.

 

Bassetlaw Food Bank provides emergency food parcels and support to people who are referred to the charity.

The Amazon team donated £1,000 worth of products such as washing up liquid, laundry tablets and bottles of bleach which will be used to increase stock levels at the food bank.

Speaking on the donation, Stacey Mather at Amazon’s fulfilment centre in Chesterfield, said:

“We’re delighted to support Bassetlaw Food Bank with this donation. The charity supports vulnerable people and it’s great to lend a helping hand to the food bank’s staff and volunteers with this donation.”

Robert Garland from Bassetlaw Food Bank added:

“On behalf of everyone at Bassetlaw Food Bank, I want to say thank you to Richard and the team from Amazon. This has been a hugely challenging year to keep our important services operating. Community donations like these ensure we are able to keep helping those who need us most.”

The charity received the donation as part Amazon’s programme to support the communities around its operating locations across the UK.

Community donations are one of a number of ways in which Amazon is supporting communities across the UK during COVID-19.

Amazon is providing disadvantaged students with online STEM courses as well as teaming up with charity partner Magic breakfast and delivering more than four million healthy breakfasts to families around the UK.
