Hazel Lodge, foodbank co-ordinator, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to receive this amazing donation from the Arunners. It will make a huge difference to all the vulnerable people in need the foodbank exists to help.
“It is enormously gratifying to receive this kind of support from the local community. We are busier than we have ever been, seeing 20 per cent more people needing our help than at this time last year.
“This makes us especially grateful to the Arunners for adopting us as their charity for 2018.”
