Local Wimbledon shoppers donated a generous 690 kilos of food – two thirds of a ton - to Wimbledon foodbank on Saturday to help feed local people facing crisis.  A small army of volunteers including Zipcar employees gave their time to make the Sainsbury’s supermarket collection in Wimbledon a fantastic success. With a visit from the Mayor of Merton, Councillor Gilli Lewis- Lavender the event was given an extra boost and she was even on the tannoy asking people to donate! The foodbank aims to help people through short term crisis by providing emergency food parcels. Wimbledon foodbank centre also provides support and signposting to help combat the long term problem. The supermarket collection took place outside Wimbledon Sainsbury’s on Saturday 4th February.
