Taylor Swift makes ‘national impact' on Christian food banks

by Anna Rees

Christian food bank charity the Trussell Trust has received a donation from 14-time Grammy award winner Taylor Swift.

The star has made previous donations to 1400 Trussell Trust food banks, as well as community projects in each city she performed in for the UK leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour.

In a post on X, the charity said: “We’re so grateful to @TaylorSwift13 for making another donation to help our community of food banks.

“If we all come together, we can build a better future where everyone in the UK is free from hunger.”

The organisation posted a photo of a friendship bracelet – which has become a fan tradition of the tour – which reads: “End hunger”.

Sophie Carre, the charity’s director of public engagement said the surprise gift comes at an “incredibly important time” when the charity expects a “huge number” of people to rely on it as the winter months draw in.

“I think with something like this, you never know, and we were very excited when her team got in touch,” said Sophie. “It’s a really nice opportunity to make a local impact, but know you’re part of a national cause, and you can see the impact nationwide as well. It’s great that it’s an opportunity to connect that local and national impact.”

The Trussell Trust is founded on a “Micah 6:8 vision… to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God". 

It says: “Churches are at the heart of our work to provide emergency food and support to people facing hardship.”

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
