Five hundred pairs of socks will be available to buy and for every pair purchased, Merchant Gourmet will donate 100% of the profits to City Harvest, helping provide nutritious meals to people facing food insecurity this Christmas. One pair of socks purchased will equate to six meals for those who need them most in the UK.
City Harvest rescues high-quality, edible surplus food from across the food industry and redistributes it to grassroots organisations supporting vulnerable people across London.
Their work tackles two of the UK’s biggest challenges – food waste and food poverty – ensuring good food nourishes communities instead of ending up in landfill.
Richard Peake, managing director at Merchant Gourmet, said: “Christmas is all about sharing good food and giving something back – with these socks, you can do both. We’re thrilled that something as fun and festive as chestnut-themed socks can help provide real meals to people who need them most. It’s a small gift that makes a big difference.”
The limited-edition socks cost £10 per pair plus postage, with all profits donated directly to City Harvest. They are available to purchase now at: www.merchant-gourmet.com
