The company has supported the Malta Foodbank Foundation, a lifeline for persons and families in dire need, through a donation of basic alimentary needs worth €5.000.
Lidl Malta has donated a total of €5.000 worth of food to the Malta Foodbank Foundation, an organisation which collects and distributes food to relieve families fighting hunger. This year, due to the COVID-19 national emergency, the number of families the foundation aids, rose staggeringly. Lidl Malta split up the donation into 100 shopping bags, each containing a week’s supply of basic and essential alimentary needs to feed a family of 5 people.
“With eight stores spread around Malta and Gozo, we know how important it is to give back to the society which sustains us. We are also aware of the hardship the year 2020 brought about due to the global pandemic. We have continuously sustained NGOs throughout these trying months by providing them with large quantities of Lidl products, but now, we want to support the Malta Foodbank Foundation even further. This is why we have put together this donation; in order to further this NGO’s work and to help those families and persons who need support, now more than ever!” stated Mark Farrugia, the Regional Director of Lidl Malta.
Lidl Malta considers itself to be part of the society in which it operates and strives to develop practical projects to contribute towards it. The company takes its role within its local and multinational setting very seriously, hence its commitment to an ever more sustainable and socially responsible way of working.
