People in Lichfield and Burntwood are being invited to enjoy a cuppa to raise money for the the Trussell Trust.
The anti-poverty charity supports a network of food banks, including one in Lichfield.
It is hosting the Tea for Trussell event in June to help raise awareness and funds for those being helped by the service locally.
Kate Merrifield, events engagement manager at The Trussell Trust, said:
“Sitting down and talking to people over a cup of tea is the first step to make people visiting a food bank feel comfortable – it provides the perfect opportunity for people to be listened to and for volunteers to better understand what drove them to the food bank and what support they might need going forward.
“We’re urging everyone in Lichfield and Burntwood to put the kettle on and throw a tea party.
“Whether you prefer your tea milky or black, with sugar or without, builders’ brew or a masala chai – anything goes, as long as you’re having fun.
“Now is the perfect time to raise both a cuppa and donations, so that together we can build a future without the need for food banks.”.
