Glenn Tilbrook has been promoting awareness of The Trussell Trust on his current UK tour.
The charity supports a network of foodbanks around the UK, and Glenn asked fans to bring non-perishable food to his shows, to be distributed to local foodbanks.
And in Milton Keynes earlier this week, fans responded generously - donating around 84kg of food - enough to provide 200 meals for Milton Keynes residents!
Glenn is also donating all profits from his merchandise, including an exclusive 4 track EP, to the organisation.
“It is shameful that in the 21st century there are people that can’t afford to put food on the table," Glenn said.
"Anyone, from any walk of life, can fall upon dire times, and I hope that by doing this tour it will remind people that there is a very real need. Most of us can do something to help - be it giving some food or a little money – and I hope people coming to the shows are inspired to donate.”
> Foodbanks provide a minimum of three-days’ nutritionally balanced, non-perishable tinned and dried foods that have been donated by the local community.
A list of items in a typical food parcel are: cereal, soup, pasta, rice, tinned tomatoes/pasta sauce, lentils, beans and pulses, tinned vegetables, tea/coffee, tinned fruit, biscuits, UHT milk and fruit juice.
