We donated 150 reusable tote bags to Codicote Foodbank to help improve its sustainability practices when handing out food to Codicote residents.
Our donation is part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to the community surrounding our Codicote developments, The Heath and The Vale.
With our donation, those who use the foodbank will now be given the reusable tote bags to carry their food in, which they can keep and bring back in future visits.
Kerry Bryant, Lead Volunteer at Codicote Foodbank, said: “A huge thank you to Taylor Wimpey from the Codicote Foodbank team for the kindly-donated huge number of tote bags, which were perfect for our Christmas goodie bags. In a bid to become more sustainable our aim was to reduce the number of single use carrier bags and encourage those visiting to bring their own, so it will be nice to provide a quality shopping bag instead. Everyone who visited our Christmas drop in session was gifted one.”
Paresh Pandya, Senior Sales and Marketing Manager at Taylor Wimpey North Thames, said: “We’re proud to not only support Codicote Foodbank in its efforts to help those in Codicote who are facing financial difficulties, but also encourage more sustainable practices among residents and help the foodbank reduce its use of products that are harmful to the environment.”
