Opticians sets its sights on foodbank support
A Cannock opticians has handed over more than 100 items to support the local community foodbank.
For every customer feedback survey received in December, Specsavers in Cannock Shopping Centre donated one item of non-perishable food to Cannock & District Foodbank, numbering 106 items in total.

"The ongoing cost-of-living crisis remains challenging for lots of people, and we want to do our bit to help. Thank you to everyone who completed a feedback survey so that we were able to donate so many items."

They provide emergency food parcels containing three days’ worth of nutritionally balanced meals to local people in crisis, offering support to those who need it most. As part of a nationwide network of food banks supported by The Trussell Trust, they are working to combat hunger and poverty across the UK.
