With the cost-of-living crisis pushing more and more people to the doors of Foodbanks, ISO Quality Services Ltd once again campaigned to help feed more families this Christmas with the support of local businesses.
In the UK there are more than 14 million people living in poverty, and the cost-of-living crisis is making the bare necessities more unaffordable. With that in mind, ISO QSL were pleased to re-launch their award-winning Bingo Box campaign for the 5th time in aid of Worcester Foodbank.
The idea was simple, organisations were challenged to complete a bingo sheet of essential items for the Foodbank or make a cash donation. Those organisations taking part could then donate the items to their local foodbank, or to ISO QSLs headquarters for Worcester Foodbank.
Despite businesses facing their own cost-of-living challenges, the response the campaign received was astonishing. Over 30 companies took part in the challenge, donating 42 boxes of everyday essentials. In addition, over £700 was made in cash donations, pushing the total number of boxes to nearly 70! With donations being made, prizes were also won. Well done to Cypher Media for ‘First Donation Made’, Indegu for ‘First Box Completed’ and The Rivers C of E Multi Academy Trust for ‘Best Decorated Box’!
Ruth Allsopp, Operations Coordinator at Worcester Foodbank commented: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to ISO Quality Services for their support again this year. Every year we are overwhelmed by the generosity of the team, and this year they have donated food via their famous Bingo Box Campaign, fundraised by collecting cash donations and also donated their time by helping us here in the Warehouse. With demand for our services ever increasing we just wouldn’t be able to help all of those who need us without support like this from local businesses. Thank you so much again from all of us here at Worcester Foodbank”.
ISO Quality Services would like to thank every company and individual that showed support to the campaign. More people will be able to receive well needed food parcels and enjoy Christmas.
