Pip & Nut has announced the launch of a limited edition variant to support the brand’s local Hackney Foodbank.
The brand will donate 25p for every jar of new Gingerbread Almond Butter sold, marking the first on-pack charity partnership for Pip & Nut.
The latest initiative follows the brand’s ongoing One from You, One from Us campaign to support Hackney Foodbank, which has so far seen 4400 jars of Peanut Butter donated to the foodbank since March.
Pip Murray, founder at Pip & Nut, said: “We’re really proud of our new Gingerbread Almond Butter not only because it offers a delicious, versatile and fun seasonal flavour profile but because it provides us with another opportunity to support Hackney Foodbank at this time of significant need.
“The charity has seen up to triple the demand for food parcels during the Covid crisis and there’s no sign of this easing up in the next few months. We are thrilled to have the ongoing support of our retail partners to help us to do this and are excited to see the limited edition roll-out into stores this month.”
Melanie Rochford, business and development director at Hackney Foodbank, added: "With the money we receive from Pip & Nut through this initiative we plan to purchase a new van, which is essential for keeping up with the growing demand at our five centres, along with putting the funds towards top-up items that haven't been donated in sufficient quantities to keep up with demand.
“Every penny or food donation we receive is a massive help in enabling us to carry on not only feeding people in crisis, but working with other charities and organisations to assist clients to access the wider forms of help they need in order to find a way out of the poverty trap.”
Gingerbread Almond Butter, RRP: £3.95, will be available to independents through wholesalers including CLF, The Health Store and Tree of Life.
