A major supermarket chain is now working in conjunction with a local food bank to ensure food items which are in short supply are donated.

Anne Cadenhead, the community champion at Morrisons Kingsbridge, has been working alongside Kingsbridge Food Bank volunteer Trudi Homer to try and figure out an effective way to ensure food items that are in short supply are donated.

They have now set up a labelling system to help identify the food items that will be of most help.

The new system, which went into effect on Monday, will show small, white food bank stickers beside the price tags of items that are in need.

Anne said: “We are hoping that when customers are shopping they will notice the labels and may donate items to the food bank. We have a food bank donation station at the front of the store, which has been very successful.”
