The latest food drops included 180 boxes of bread, over 10,000 eggs and 79 trays of yoghurt. Care homes, which have been hit hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic, are also being supplied with food.

Ceri Brown, Harlech’s digital project manager who works with the team to coordinate the supply chain, said: “Lockdowns have of course resulted in excess stock with last minute Government decisions resulting in additional wasted stock bought in to satisfy school contracts.

“We had to be prepared for the new school term in January but of course when schools were closed we were left with a huge amount of food which we needed to use.

“We are working closely with some incredible organisations to help people hit hardest by the pandemic and we wanted to share it out across our area of operation.

“As the lockdowns continue, it’s a real struggle for our purchasing team managing stock levels, ensuring we have enough stock to meet demand for those customers that are open, but not over buying.”
