Jennifer Ashe & Son, a family-run funeral director in Willenhall, is asking local businesses to support its Easter egg appeal, which aims to provide more than 250 chocolate eggs for children at Walsall Manor Hospital.
The Jennifer Ashe & Son branch on 19-21 New Road, Willenhall, is acting as the collection point for Easter egg donations up until Monday 25th March – after which the chocolate treats will be dropped at Manor Hospital’s children’s outpatients, PAU and children’s ward, ahead of Easter weekend.
Jimmy Smith, Funeral Director at Jennifer Ashe & Son, said: “With Easter fast approaching what better time to bring a little bit of joy to the children at Walsall Manor Hospital.
“We hope that our local community can come together to donate enough eggs to make sure every child receives a chocolate treat this Easter. It’s a small gift that we hope will bring a smile to their faces.”
The initiative has already gained momentum with the generous support of two local businesses, A.F. Blakemore & Son and Hayward Transport, which have both contributed crates full of chocolate treats.
Headquartered in Willenhall, A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd is one of the largest family-owned businesses in the UK, with over 7,000 employees. The business is a food retail, wholesale and distribution company, and is the largest SPAR distributor.
Hayward Transport holds a century-long presence in the haulage industry, and is situated in Walsall, near to the Jennifer Ashe & Son branch.
With the support of A.F. Blakemore & Son and Hayward Transport, Jennifer Ashe & Son has around 220 Easter eggs stored and ready to donate.
Jennifer Ashe & Son hopes that with the continued support of the community, it will reach its target by Monday. The family-run business is urging other local businesses who can support its appeal to drop in their donations, no matter how big or small.
