Access Bookings raised more than £400 through staff contributions via JustGiving, an amount matched by the company to double its impact to help Lichfield Foodbank.
Team members from Access Bookings used half of the combined funds at the end of January to purchase essential food and personal care items, preparing them for families across the region.
These items, handed over to the Lichfield Foodbank, were confirmed to equate to 646 meals, with the remaining funds, donated in December, providing an additional 646 meals.
Dena Hill, warehouse manager at Lichfield Foodbank, said: “We can’t thank everyone at Access Bookings enough.
"Our stock levels really drop in January as everyone struggles that little bit more with post-Christmas bills, and this is an absolute lifeline to so many of our families and individuals.
"This support from local businesses is really appreciated.”
Lillybea Taylor, from Access Bookings, said: “We’d like to thank our team for being so generous with their monetary donations.
"Every pound given has gone on to help those in need, and we’re proud to be part of such a meaningful initiative in our local community.”
