EAST of England Co-op stores are still collecting food donations for Colchester Food Bank.
The shops will be accepting donations for the charity, which provides food parcels for poor residents, until January 6.
Christian Bone, head of community services at the Coop, said: “By donating an item or two from their shopping baskets our customers have been able to bring a little cheer into the homes of many hundreds of families.”
