Dear Sir,
Once again I write to express my thanks to all those who donated non perishable food, during the collection week for the Foodbank, organised nationally by Tesco’s Supermarket.
Despite the current economic climate the people of this town still managed to donate a fantastic amount of food,which we will put to good use to help local people in need.
The food was collected by foodbank volunteers, or friends of the Foodbank, who stood for long periods of time handing out leaflets or collecting donated food from shoppers. Without their help we could not have handled the amount of donated food that we had.
A very big thank you to Tesco’s supermarket in Newton Aycliffe, their managers and staff for all their help and support, not only during our foodbank collection, but for all their help throughout the year. It is refreshing to find commercial companies who are willing to support the community in which they are based.
So finally a very big thank you to Tesco’s supermarket, and especially the people of Great Aycliffe for their help and support.
