The Shell Out to Help Out campaign was started by Truro-based St-Ewe Free-range Eggs and has seen an outpouring of support from the local community. For each tray sold at their current reduced price of £3, the company are donating one carton of eggs to local food banks across Cornwall. With the current Covid-19 pandemic exacerbating the growing issue of food poverty in Cornwall, Shell Out to Help Out has provided some welcome relief to families suffering from food-insecurity. Nikki Owen, head of marketing at St Ewe, said: We started the Shell Out to Help Out campaign because 52% of our business is in food services and hospitality, and when the third lockdown came along that business disappeared overnight, and you can t furlough a hen.
Families and residents struggling to feed themselves through the pandemic have been handed a lifeline by a community larder that was set up in January this year. The community larder, which is being run by the CHAOS Group, provides a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, pasta, rice, eggs and various tinned goods, free of charge, for those who have found themselves in need during the Covid-19 outbreak. Dad of six Daniel Hammond is one up to 100 people who visited the larder last week in order to pick up vital food supplies to help his family stay fed.
