This Christmas, members can donate their ALL – Accor Live Limitless Reward points to the Trussell Trust, the organisation that supports the largest national network of food banks in the UK.
By donating just 2000 points members can change a family’s life, providing a three-day emergency food parcel for a single parent and child or a financial advice session to someone in crisis.
With 1200 centres providing emergency food and practical, compassionate support to people in crisis, the Trussell Trust expects to provide an emergency parcel every nine seconds this winter.
Ruth Finnis, a spokesperson for ALL, said: “If this year has shown us anything, it’s that we can make big changes to the way we live, work and look after each other. We can act together now to make a difference.“
ALL members in Northern Europe can donate their ALL – Accor Live Limitless Reward points to the European Food Banks Federation, the organisation which supports and represents the largest European network of 430 Food Banks in 29 countries.
Since the beginning of 2020 the demand for food has increased by up to 30% at European level, with a range from 6% to 90% in the different countries, compared to the pre-coronavirus period in Europe. In 2018, Eurostat estimated 33 million European citizens in material deprivation, but now millions more people are in need and for the first time they are asking for help to put something to eat at the table
