Kellogg’s to provide food donations direct to NHS

Kellogg’s UK, which has a factory on Bryn Lane, has pledged to donate 500,000 servings of food direct to NHS and key workers across the UK.

The news comes after Kellogg’s announced it would also be distributing a minimum of three million servings of food to its charity partners, to reach food banks, schools and community groups supporting the most vulnerable people.

Staff in NHS hospitals and medical facilities are able to visit Kelloggs.co.uk contact page (and select NHS from the drop down) where they can then then request a donation to be delivered direct to their workplace, for their own staff or break rooms.

As well as these donations, the business will be recognising the hauliers who are continuing to ensure food reaches our shelves at this unique time. Kellogg’s will be working to provide food for the staff rooms of its three main UK hauliers.

Kellogg’s VP and head of UK business, Chris Silcock, commented: “At Kellogg’s we want to ensure we are doing what we can to support those who need us at this time. From getting food onto shelves, to supporting local food banks and schools.

“I want to take this opportunity to thank the NHS for their tireless work and I hope that by donating a further 500,000 servings of cereal direct to those working on the frontline we are able to help in some way.”

Kellogg’s UK’s donation to NHS staff comes in addition to the three million servings it has already pledged, bringing total food donations to over 3.5 million servings.

Across Wrexham, Kellogg’s factory colleagues have been delivering food donations to Wrexham Maelor Hospital, Gobowen Hospital, Ty Derbyn, Y Heddfan, Grove Road Health Centre, Wrexham food bank at the Salvation Army and Hafod Y Wern Primary School.

Earlier in the month, the business received 350 applications as it opened up roles at its local factory to meet the increased demand for food.
