The donations will help feed the poorest in our region into the New Year
The Manchester Evening News' Christmas appeal to help tackle hunger in Greater Manchester has smashed through its target with thanks to a very special donation from one of the city's most prominent charity donors.
The generous £5,000 donation from the MJ Ball 2022, given by entrepreneur Michael Josephson MBE, means that Humans MCR can help feed hundreds of families as we move into the new year. Donations are vital to ensuring that this incredible local charity can keep supporting the poorest in our region and striving to end food poverty for good.
Speaking to the M.E.N, Michael Josephson MBE said: "I am more than happy for the MJ Ball 2022 to support Human MCR with the wonderful work they are doing for the families and children of Manchester, now more than ever we need to reach out and support those less fortunate and in need. The donation was welcomed by Humans MCR co-founder Lewey Hellewell, who set up the charity after his own 'undignified' experiences with food banks. Lewey said: "This is by far the largest single donation we have ever received and we are so grateful.
