Hide AdDavid Patrickson, branch manager at Waitrose Rustington, said: “We are pleased to be able to offer our support to a Christmas lunch in Worthing, and we would encourage organisers to contact us with their plans.”
The store will donate money or produce and Waitrose Partners will be volunteering their time, to show that small actions can make a big difference to people who might otherwise be on their own at Christmas.
Tina Varns, Waitrose community manager, said: “Our branches are at the centre of the communities they serve.
“We know how important this time of year is to so many people and it is important everyone has the opportunity to enjoy that.”
