60,000 sausages donated to charity

A CHARITY had literally truckloads of food for thought – after receiving a donation of frankfurters weighing two-and-a-half tonnes.

The Grimsby Food Kitchen, which looks after the disadvantaged, lonely and homeless at the Open Door centre, in Hainton Avenue, was overwhelmed after receiving a very unique donation – a total of 57,600 sausages.

The charity had a close encounter of the "Wurst" kind after they came to the attention of Tulip, a national food manufacturer.

Cath Homewood, a volunteer at the food kitchen, said: "Donations are vital to keeping the food kitchens open. It's wonderful the kindness people are showing us – it's amazing."
