The Manchester Evening News' Christmas appeal to help tackle hunger in Greater Manchester has smashed through its target with thanks to a very special donation from one of the city's most prominent charity donors.
This Christmas, we have partnered with Humans MCR, a Blackley-based food bank, to help make sure nobody in our region goes hungry. This is an exceptional charity that place respect and dignity at the core of their work, giving users agency over their food choices and helping lift them out of food poverty in the long-term, as well as addressing their short-term needs.
The generous £5,000 donation from the MJ Ball 2022, given by entrepreneur Michael Josephson MBE, means that Humans MCR can help feed hundreds of families as we move into the new year. Donations are vital to ensuring that this incredible local charity can keep supporting the poorest in our region and striving to end food poverty for good.
