Cardiff foodbank has received generous support from the local community in the run up to its biggest food collection yet.

More than 100 people have responded to the foodbank’s appeal for volunteers to participate in the event, which will take place from Friday 29 November to Sunday 1 December.

Volunteers will be collecting food donations on all three days at Western Avenue, Culverhouse Cross and St Mellons Tesco stores.

Simon Brown, volunteer co-ordinator at Cardiff foodbank, said: “We’ve seen a huge increase recently in the number of people who have stepped up to help us and it is a similar story for this collection.

“As we go into Christmas we are just really blessed to have such a good supply of volunteers.”
