Staff at Worcester-based Pineapple Recruitment, which specialises in providing staff for the hospitality and catering industries, have donated the fresh and tinned fruit to Worcester Foodbank for local families to enjoy over the coming weeks and months.
Kasia Krieger, business manager at Pineapple Recruitment, said: “As a business, we obviously share the same name as the popular tropical fruit so we put our heads together to think about what we could do to celebrate this year’s International Pineapple Day.
“We have such a strong partnership with Worcester Foodbank that it was an easy decision to do something for them and the hundreds of people who rely on the foodbank. With that in mind, we have donated 50 large pineapples and dozens of tinned fruit to help people and their families enjoy different and more healthy fruit.
“The staff at Worcester Foodbank are renowned for the amazing job they do day in, day out. They help so many people across Worcester, so this is our way again of making a small contribution and helping more families in the area.”
