“The breathing space Taylor’s donation has given us will enable us to lift our heads and shift our focus from the food bank to the creation of a sustainable operation supporting people who currently need our help with support to address the root cause of poverty and financial support to set them on the path to not needing our aid anymore,” Rachel Biggs, the CEO of Cardiff Foodbank said. According to Biggs, the donation by the Anti-Hero hitmaker would help feed “1,200 people three meals a day, for three days – or 10,800 meals.” Cardiff Foodbank also thanked Swift on its Instagram handle by posting, a carousel dedicated to the pop star. The caption reads, “Well, this is beyond our Wildest Dreams! 🫶 A HUGE thank you to Taylor Swift for deciding to make a generous donation to support our work at Cardiff Foodbank after The Eras Tour came to Cardiff last week. Food banks in the @trusselltrust Network in Wales distributed over 187,000 emergency food parcels to people in need last year.”
Over 20,000 of those were given out by Cardiff Foodbank to those in need across Cardiff. Taylor has helped put the spotlight on the ever-growing need for food banks – and we’re so grateful for her support 💚” the post concluded. According to HuffPost, Rich Jones from the St Andrew’s Community Network in Liverpool expressed gratitude by saying, “It’s the most incredible gift. Because of rising prices, rising need, and falling donations, we’ve been having to subsidize our food ourselves for a long while.”
