He has been doing this for two years, as well as going shopping fortnightly specifically for food banks.

He filled 20 bags over the summer, which included essentials such as cereals and coffee as well as baking supplies to offer a fun activity for families.

Jordan said: “I have received many kind words of appreciation from local residents over the years and do try my hardest to help as many as possible, but it is saddening to know so many are forced to rely on food banks.

"I wish I could do more, but no matter what, I intend to give it my all when it comes to helping people.”
