Asda Boston has launched its Christmas Gift Appeal and the Boston based charity set to benefit from donations is Centrepoint Outreach which supports homeless and vulnerable people in Boston and the surrounding area and empowers them to achieve their full potential.   

The Asda Foundation has already supported the cause with a £600 grant to provide a drop in Christmas meal for local homeless and lonely people, which Asda colleagues will help to serve, and the purchase of warm clothing for project workers to distribute to those in need.   

The Lister Way store is now asking its shoppers to spread a little kindness this Christmas. A special trolley has been set up in the store to accept donations of other items that the charity is in need of.

Items being requested include boxer shorts, gloves, socks, trainers, joggers, t-shirts and hoodies for men, plus flasks, protein bars, torches, handwarmers, blankets, lip balm and tissues to support those in need during the winter months.
