Representatives from several Sainsbury's local store recently visited the Hospice to deliver lots of Christmas goodies for the patients and staff.
Selina, an employee at the Queens Road store, said: "As part of our commitment to our 'Charity of the Year', we decided to purchase some goods that could be useful to LOROS at Christmas time.
I decided to try and increase the contribution by encouraging other Sainsbury's stores and local shops to donate too.
"I was delighted when Clarendon Park Local, Granby Street, Gloucester Crescent Wigston, Wigston Moat St, Hinckley Clifton Way, Hinckley Road Local, Wigston Leicester Road, Branston Local, Morley St Local, Leicester Hamilton Local and Long Eaton Tamworth Road all gave very generously and we were able to amass more than £800 worth of goods."
Magda Korytkowska, Corporate Fundraising Co-ordinator at LOROS, added: "It was a pleasure to meet all the Sainsbury store representatives and to be able to thank them personally for their very thoughtful donations.
"The mince pies and Christmas hampers will be used by Day Therapy for their Christmas Fayre, some of the goods will be used by fundraising as raffle prizes and others by the kitchen staff. The drinks will go on our drink trolley for the patients.
"Once again, thank you all for your continued and invaluable support to the Hospice and I hope you all have a very happy Christmas"
