Walsall set for Marcus Rashford-inspired Christmas hampers Published image captionThirty-five volunteers have been putting food items in each hamper along with gifts Hundreds of struggling families in Walsall are set to get food hampers for Christmas after a campaign inspired by footballer Marcus Rashford. Lucie Dennis had the idea at the end of October during the Manchester United player's campaign over child food poverty. She thought she might have been able to help up to 20 families, but the idea "snowballed massively" on Facebook. Her volunteer group aims to deliver more than 350 hampers before Christmas. The mum-of-three, aged 28, said it was "heartbreaking" to think of children going hungry amid Rashford's work to raise awareness of the issue.
