Booths Ilkley Foodbank with Churches Together

Written on December 9th, 2016

Booths Ilkley are very proud to announce their partnership with local charity, Churches Together in Ilkley, who provide food parcels to those in need.

Churches Together approached Ilkley Booths and told Rachel Costello, Store Manager, that they were struggling to continue to run their food bank. Food was previously bagged up and stored in Christchurch building, some 12 miles away, but unfortunately the building had become unavailable – so Booths stepped in.

Booths Ilkley have offered to facilitate the storage of food collected in store and from other retailers, and allow the community group to work in their warehouse to create bags for the people who need the service. Without Booths, the charity were trying to work out which of them had the biggest garage to work from!

The Churches Together in Ilkley group are thrilled at the proposition and are ecstatic to know they can keep working hard to provide essential food parcels to those in need.

If you’re in Ilkley store, please donate to the foodbank especially in the run up to Christmas.
