Staff and volunteers at a food bank were left 'extremely touched' by a pensioner's 'lovely' gesture to help struggling families this winter. The woman sent a handwritten note complete with a substantial cash donation.
In the letter, she said she recently received her winter fuel allowance payment from the government. She said she now wanted to donate a "chunk of it" to her local food bank - saying families on low wages needed the help more.
The letter was handed to volunteers at the Crossroads Meltham Foodbank in the centre of Meltham, West Yorkshire, Yorkshire Live reports. Manager Chris Sinclair, who shared details of the letter, said he was touched to live and work in such a warm-hearted community.
