Dom Warren said: “This project of ours is a real heart warming one that sees so many children of our town learn life skills, how to wash chop and prepare foods and most importantly to help someone else.

“We absolutely love doing this and this time it was with the amazing children of the

St Leonards Guides.

Thank you to all involved especially the food mission team.

“Food is saved from landfill once again and children are educated.”

Dom was in the spotlight recently when he opened the newly refurbished Morrisons supermarket in Queens Road.

Morrisons is one of the many food outlets in the area which supports the Food Mission by donating food items.

Dom said: “It was a great pleasure to open the store and meet the amazing bunch of people who work and shop there.

“We love being involved with Morrisons and their continued support is greatly appreciated.

This year Dom’s Food Mission have also joined forces with Hastings United FC and Hastings Adventure Golf, which has donated in excess of 500 meals over the past six months.

Since launching in 2015, Dom’s Food Mission has gone from strength to strength and now feeds around 4,000 people a month.

Dom said: “I can’t believe that our small idea to help one child now helps thousands of people every month.”
