Members of staff from Toyota engine plant – along with support from the Toyota Charitable Trust – collected their largest ever donation for its ‘Kindness at Christmas’ campaign for Flintshire Foodbank. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Food donations, which filled three cars, were taken from Toyota engine plant at Deeside Industrial Estate to the Foodbank in Mold last week. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Sue Leake from Flintshire Foodbank, was overwhelmed with the generosity from Toyota staff, at what she says is due to be the “busiest season the foodbank has ever experienced”. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Last year just over 1,000 people received crisis food from the Foodbank in December, and we know that figure will be exceeded this year.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

We currently have seven centres in Flintshire where people in need can receive food help and are looking to open a new centre in Shotton in the New Year.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

We really appreciate the great relationship we have with Toyota colleagues who so generously support our work. Added Sue.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Last year, Toyota Manufacturing UK Charitable Trust raised £194,000.00 for local charities and good causes in the company’s local communities. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
