They covered the bills after finding out the charity could only keep their heating on for an hour a day
A big-hearted couple have paid a food banks heating bills to help them run a warm hub.
Boss Maureen Cummings, 55, said there are “no words” to share how grateful she is for the generosity and is “surprised everyday” by good Samaritans who help the food bank. “They came back the following week and said we want to pay our electricity bills from October to December. I couldn’t believe it.“I also had elderly people offer to share their winter help allowance to make bills easier to pay.
She hopes to break the stigma of using food banks after creating an open floor plan which means people don’t have to queue up for donations.Maureen also created a community cafe across from the food bank where nothing has a price, meaning people can enjoy a hot meal and warm space. “We haven’t refused anyone food yet, it doesn't matter how much money you have, you can’t buy anything here.Maureen gives out around 10,000 items of stock each month and relies on the generosity of others to replenish it.She said: “People can be quite ignorant of the type of food banks need.
