MORRISONS supermarket has announced it will be donating 100,000 chocolate eggs to those in need this Easter.
Community champions will be working with food banks, schools and community groups to distribute the Easter treats.
Each of Morrisons 497 stores will receive a dedicated delivery of more than 200 Easter eggs, including household favourites Smarties and Creme Egg, which will be set aside, ready to donate.
In Craven the eggs will be delivered where possible to food banks and community groups in Skipton, Settle, Hellifield, Ingleton and Bentham.
Customers also have the opportunity to get involved as Morrisons is setting up ‘Easter Egg donation stations’ in every store.
Rebecca Singleton, customer & community director at Morrisons said: “We know that celebratory occasions can come at an additional cost to families, but we want to make sure that no-one goes without Easter eggs this year. Across the UK we’ll be donating 100,000 eggs to local communities where they are needed most.”
The Easter egg giveaway is part of Morrisons £5 million drive to keep the nation’s food banks stocked by manufacturing additional products which are then donated directly to local communities.
