Staff from Amazon's Bolton fulfilment centre have volunteered their time with a North-West food distribution charity.
The Bread and Butter Thing, which serves low-income families across Greater Manchester, provides affordable and nutritious food to communities.
Redistributing more than 200 tonnes of food per week, the charity hands out nearly half a million meals.
Eager to lend their resources, 10 team members from Amazon took time out to visit the charity's headquarters.
The Bolton centre has routinely donated its time, money, and products to The Bread and Butter Thing since 2020.
General manager at Amazon in Bolton, John Strydom, said: "We have built a great relationship with The Bread and Butter Thing over the years and are glad to support its growth through our recent volunteering initiative.
"Food insecurity is a horrible reality for many in our town and across the region, and playing a small part in relieving that for people is our pleasure."
Lewis Hall, an Amazon employee who took part in the volunteering initiative, said: "I was pleased to get the opportunity to volunteer with the team at The Bread and Butter Thing and hear more about their work.
"The charity makes a huge difference to the lives of people in our community, and I’m delighted to have helped distribute meals to those in need."
The Bread and Butter Thing's chief executive, Mark Game, voiced his appreciation for the media corporation's contribution.
He said: "On behalf of everyone at The Bread and Butter Thing, I want to thank the team of volunteers from Amazon in Bolton who took time out of their busy day to help us with our food deliveries.
"We’re very much a volunteer driven organisation so appreciate the recognition and ongoing support from these guys and look forward to welcoming them back in the not so distant future."
Aiming to highlight Amazon's ethos of community service, programmes like Amazon Future Engineer have offered free computer science and STEM education to over 700,000 UK students.
The corporation's Amazon Local Good initiative has also facilitated the delivery of more than seven million healthy breakfasts to children facing hunger.
With support from former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Amazon's Multibank endeavours have aided more than 200,000 poverty-stricken families.
Amazon's commitment to alleviating poverty also extends to a partnership with Comic Relief, hosting this charity's iconic Red Nose.
Together with employees, customers, and partners, they have raised around £4.8 million for projects tackling homelessness, mental health problems, and food insecurity both within the UK and globally.
