UK: Asda donates food to homeless charity
The supermarket’s distribution warehouse at Washington is collecting surplus stock orders placed by the supermarket and food that members of staff have bought and donated. Two trollies have been set aside for staff to fill with practical food items.
Depaul’s regional facilities rely on donations such as this to feed young people who come there for help after finding themselves homeless.
Julie Duell, partnership development officer for Depaul UK, said: "Donations of this nature are just as important as being given a cash boost, as we need to have food supplies in for the young people who come to us in need of help. Often they haven’t eaten for a while and are grateful for whatever we can give them, so things like pasta meals or tinned foods that are quick to make are perfect."
