A FOODBANK has thanked customers and staff at Morrisons in Tyldesley for their donations.

Grow For Giving, based at Tyldesley allotments, presented customers and staff with thank you gifts and the McKenna Giving Award Certificate in recognition of the valuable contribution they have made this year to the foodbank.

The project, which has been running almost two years, donates surplus fruit and vegetables during growing seasons and dried and tinned food donated by the public out of the growing season.

Eunan Jones, its founder, said: “The generosity of the staff at Morrison’s and the people of Tyldesley and surrounding areas is heart warming.”
