COVID-19 aid: Liam Payne provides support to food banks

India TV News  

Singer Liam Payne is pitching in to provide meal donations that will aid food banks located in the Midlands, England. The former One Direction sta is helping build a crisis fund to food banks who provide meals to those directly affected by Covid-19, as demand increases due to companies closing and people being forced out of work amid the UK's ongoing lockdown, reports aceshowbiz.com. The Trussell Trust is working with food banks across the country to ensure emergency help is there for people who don't have money for the basics," Payne said. "I want to play my part in finding a solution to ensure people have enough money to buy their own food - and end the need for food banks,"he added.
