Morrisons Failsworth donates food packages to Spark Oldham

Lisa Ogunba, the Morrisons Community Champion at Failsworth, will work closely with Spark Oldham to help provide the food they need the most to support families and children and to prevent holiday hunger this summer

Morrisons in Failsworth has announced that it will continue to support its local community by joining the national effort to help prevent holiday hunger this summer.

Over the coming weeks, Morrisons Community Champion, Lisa Ogunba at Failsworth, will work closely with Spark Oldham to help provide the food they need the most to support families and children and to prevent holiday hunger this summer.

Morrisons stores across the country will support school holiday activity programmes - arranged by local schools, community groups and HAF (the Holiday Activities and Food Programme), by donating £50,000 of food across the UK this summer. 

To help those in need, Morrisons already gives surplus food to local causes such as food banks and community groups through its unsold food programme.

In addition, its in-store Food Bank ‘Pick Up Pack’ scheme also allows customers to purchase a bag filled with a mix of products, which are distributed to local food banks and community organisations by the in-store Community Champions.
