Morrisons stores in Doncaster giving away dozens of Easter eggs

The supermarket giant 100,000 chocolate eggs in total across the whole of the country, that’s 200 for each of its 497 stores.

Those set to benefit include food banks, schools and community groups will then distribute the treats to individuals and families who would benefit most.

Customers also have the opportunity to get involved as Morrisons is setting up ‘Easter Egg Donation Stations’ in every store where customers can drop off additional eggs they have purchased.

The supermarket wants to raise the spirits of the nation and spread some hope and joy across local communities as lockdown restrictions are set to be eased by the government this week.

Rebecca Singleton, Customer & Community Director at Morrisons said: “We know that celebratory occasions can come at an additional cost to families, but we want to make sure that no-one goes without Easter eggs this year. Across the UK we’ll be donating 100,000 eggs to local communities where they are needed most.”

The Easter egg giveaway is part of Morrisons £5 million drive to keep the nation’s food banks stocked by manufacturing additional products which are then donated directly to local communities. The £5 million donation, announced in January, adds to the £10 million worth of food that Morrisons donated in 2020.
