Morrisons is donating 100,000 chocolate eggs to those in need in the run up to the Easter weekend.
The supermarket chain will be working with local food banks, schools and community groups all over the UK to distribute the Easter treats to those who need them the most.
All of Morrisons 497 stores will receive a dedicated delivery of over 200 Easter eggs, including popular options like Smarties and Creme Egg, which will be set aside, ready to donate.
Shoppers also have the opportunity to get involved as Morrisons is setting up ‘Easter Egg Donation Stations’ in every store where customers can drop off additional eggs they have purchased.
The supermarket giant said it wants to raise the spirits of the nation and spread some hope and joy across local communities as lockdown restrictions are set to be eased by the government this week.
Rebecca Singleton, Customer & Community Director at Morrisons said: "We know that celebratory occasions can come at an additional cost to families, but we want to make sure that no-one goes without Easter eggs this year.
"Across the UK we’ll be donating 100,000 eggs to local communities where they are needed most."
The Easter egg giveaway is part of Morrisons' £5 million drive to keep the nation’s food banks stocked by manufacturing additional products which are then donated directly to local communities.
The £5 million donation, which was announced in January, adds to the £10 million worth of food that Morrisons donated in 2020.
