ANTI-POVERTY charity, the Trussell Trust is calling for donations of tinned seafood for its Vale foodbanks.
The charity has teamed up with Seafish, the UK industry authority on seafood, as part of Seafood Week 2016 which runs from October 7 to October 14.
The aim is to provide nutritionally balanced food parcels for people who experience a crisis, such as a sudden loss of earnings or an unexpected bill, which has left them struggling to eat.
People referred to Trussell Trust foodbanks in Vale will also receive a recipe card for a balanced family meal, created by Seafish.
Vale people are being encouraged to donate tinned seafood, such as tuna and mackerel, alongside other non-perishable foods, to Tesco’s permanent collection points.
Fund donations can also be made via: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/seafood-week-trussell-trust
