A MAJOR supermarket chain has announced that it will continue to support its community in Workington by joining the national effort to help prevent holiday hunger this summer.

Over the coming weeks, Morrisons Community Champion, Lesley Jackson at Workington will work closely with Maryport community centre & Workington Town Council events team to help provide the food they need the most to support families and children and to prevent holiday hunger this summer.

Morrisons stores across the country will support school holiday activity programmes - arranged by local schools, community groups and HAF (the Holiday Activities and Food Programme), by donating £100,000 of food across the UK this summer. 

To help those in need, Morrisons already gives surplus food to local causes such as food banks and community groups through its unsold food programme. In addition, its in-store Food Bank ‘Pick Up Pack’ scheme also allows customers to purchase a bag filled with a mix of  products, which are distributed to local food banks and community organisations by the in-store Community Champions.
