Rotarians give food bank a cash boost
A food bank has received a welcome £250 donation from a Rotary club.
Presented at Lichfield Foodbank’s warehouse at Saxon Hill Academy on King’s Hill Road, the money came from the Rotary Foundation, the international Rotary charity which is supported by the city branch.
David Clarke, chairman of Lichfield Foodbank, provided Rotarians with “some very revealing data” during the presentation.
He said the demand for food at its distribution centre in Lichfield had doubled since last year which meant more families in and around Lichfield were now receiving support than ever before.
A spokesman for Lichfield St Chad Rotary Club said: “We heard that Lichfield Foodbank is planning to distribute Christmas food bags again this year.
“The target is 500 bags, so our donation will be well-invested in this very supportive intention for later in the year.”
