Salisbury Reds donates cash to city's foodbank
The money's come from the bus operator's community fund
Local bus operator, Salisbury Reds, has given a cash donation to the city's foodbank.
It's come from their community fund, which aims to support organisations that are working to improve the quality of life for local people.
They've given £450 to the service, which gives emergency food parcels to households in need, from a number of locations in South Wiltshire.
Operations manager, David Newton, said:
“This is our pledge to support those living in the areas we serve with our bus network.
“We’re determined to build close relationships with local charities, organisations and clubs - and the Salisbury Foodbank is carrying out vital work in our area. It is a truly worthy cause.
“Without the help the charity provides, many local people would go hungry. We are pleased to be playing a small part in not allowing that to happen.”
Maria Stevenson, project manager for Salisbury Foodbank, said:
“Our team is working tirelessly to try to ease food poverty on our region. We are all looking forward to a time when food banks are no longer necessary but, until then, we really appreciate the support of well-known brands like Salisbury Reds. We can’t thank them enough for their generosity.”
