Collection and donation points were set up at Pershore College’s library, as well as the libraries of Moreton Morrell College, Royal Leamington Spa College, and Rugby College.
Donations were taken to each of the colleges’ local Trussell Trust food banks.
Steph Nettleton, library manager at WCG, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the wonderful work of our local food banks, playing our part in helping to maintain people’s access to food and supplies over the winter months.
“The campaign’s success would not have been possible without our library users and we have seen a variety of staff and students generously donating to a great cause.”
This year marks the fourth successive year of donations, with WCG’s collection campaign beginning in December 2019 and continuing through the COVID lockdowns of 2020 and 2021.
