intu Milton Keynes raises thousands for MK Food Bank

 intu Milton Keynes has raised over £8000 for the MK Food Bank.

Throughout 2019, the shopping destination collected money and food donations for the MK Food Bank.

 

Both the MK Food Bank and intu Milton Keynes are extremely grateful for the donations that were received from the local community last year, which was increased further by intu’s £5000 donation, providing the MK Food Bank with a grand total of over £8000 last year.

 

In addition to the funds raised, local volunteers and the team at intu Milton Keynes contributed 89 hours to help pack food parcels, support with food distribution and provide general donation support in the warehouse for MK Food Bank in 2019.

 

Caitlin Hands, Partnerships Manager at MK Food Bank said: “We have felt privileged to have been chosen as the charity of the year for 2019 at intu Milton Keynes.

"Our year together has been full of highlights including regular vortex collections and employee volunteering days at our warehouse. Receiving over £8000 from intu Milton Keynes has made a big difference to our capacity to operate and finish the year financially healthy. Along the way we have made some good friends at intu and will look to continue our good relations over the coming years. Thank you all so much!”

 

The Food Bank relies entirely on donations of food and money from the community, as well as the support of its local volunteers.
