Ruby's Fish and Chip Shop - £330 donation
In May we were delighted to be contacted by Andy Demetriou of Ruby's Fish & Chip Shop in Thringstone with a wonderful fundraising event in association with National Fish & Chip Day and the 80th anniversary of D Day on Thursday 6th June.
Andy created a very special offer of a bag of chips for just 80p and decided that they would donate every penny spent on these bags of chips to us and Coalville Foodbank.
Thursday 6th June was an incredibly busy and successful day, here's how Andy described the event in his own words:
"We would like to thank everyone that turned out last night to support our event celebrating National Fish and Chip Day and the 80th D Day Anniversary.
In total we sold 301 portions of chips at 80p each, raising £240.80. In addition, another £89 was collected in the charity box, bringing the total to £329.80! However, to show our appreciation for the support we received from our customers and suppliers, we will be doubling this amount and therefore will be donating £330 to Bright Hope in North West Leicestershire and £330 to Coalville Foodbank."
We would like to say thank you to Andy and his team for his generous donation.
