Haywards Heath Foodbank has operated a system of referrals in order to deliver food parcels, which takes place twice weekly. The housebuilder’s donation will help to cover the costs of purchasing household essentials from the foodbank’s wish list, including tinned tomatoes, rice and ‘free from products’.
Kimberley Benson, Sales and Marketing Director at Barratt David Wilson Southern Counties, commented: “Foodbanks are already seeing unprecedented levels of usage, with over 320,000 people in the UK turning to local services for the first time. This winter we wanted to help those directly affected in our local community and spread a little bit of hope in time for Christmas. Our donation will alleviate some pressure on Haywards Heath Foodbank, helping to boost supply levels and prepare for the next few months of demand.”
