A charity in Hackney has received a £3,700 donation from technology giant Amazon, after providing 17,500 meals to people in need over the last 10 months.
Shoreditch Trust, in Orsman Road, supports people facing challenging situations and health, economic and social inequality.
It has since delivered thousands of freshly cooked meals to people too poorly to cook or shop for food through its Community Table programme.
Jaimie Tapper, deputy chief of the Shoreditch Trust said: “ The funding allows us to continue to deliver cooked food, to those who are seriously unwell, living with underlying health conditions, limited mobility, don t have support networks, with babies and young children or lack access to safe cooking facilities.
