In celebration of the Sikh New Year festival, Vaisakhi, the Hammersmith Metro Bank donated bags of food to the Gurseva foodbank.
Gurseva is a 100% volunteer led organisation which helps who are vulnerable in the local community. The charity provides hot food, refreshments, clothing, sanitary products, and a friendly ear to those who are homeless or in shelters.
“A huge thank you to all our customers and colleagues who donated so generously for the Gurseva Foodbank”, said Hammersmith Metro Bank Store Manager, Shamilah Mughal. “Over 30 of our stores collected tens of thousands of items for local foodbanks for Vaisakhi which will benefit many local residents and families in need.”
The need for local foodbanks has never been greater with more than 14 million people in the UK living in poverty – including nearly 5 million children.
Hammersmith Metro Bank is located at 27-29 Kings Mall, King Street, London, W6 0QB.The store is currently open Monday – Saturday 8.30am - 6pm. Sunday: 11am - 5pm.
