The Tipton donates £24k to foodbank
A £24,000 donation is being given to the Black Country Foodbank.
The Tipton and Coseley Building Society has responded to the challenge of the cost of living crisis by making an initial donation of £12,000 and pledging to donate a further £12,000 in 2024.
The foodbank started in 2006 and helps those in need by providing them with emergency food and toiletry supplies.
Adam Evetts, chief executive designate at the Tipton said: "The cost of living crisis continues to have a devastating impact for thousands of people. The Black Country Foodbank is a lifesaver, helping people across the Black Country during these difficult times.
"We are immensely proud to support the incredible work the foodbank does, which we hope will make a big difference to our local community. We will also be introducing food and toiletry collection points in all of our branches in order to allow our members to make donations to the foodbank."
Jen Coleman, chief executive of the Black Country Foodbank, said: "It has been great to partner with The Tipton and we look forward to working together over the next few months. Financial donations are critical as they help us to meet our immediate needs plus plan and budget for the future. We are really grateful for the support from The Tipton especially as demand for our services has increased again this year."
