LAW firm Mogers Drewett has given £1,000 to each of three food banks close to its offices in Sherborne, Wells and Bath.
Staff raised the money by selling raffle tickets in December last year.
Managing partner Sean McDonough said: “Mogers Drewett wants to focus this year’s charitable activity on the food banks as we can see how deeply the cost-of-living crisis is affecting our communities and we really want to help.”
“Thanks to the generosity of local businesses who donated some amazing prizes and our team who sold hundreds of raffle tickets, we are delighted to have been able to help local food banks who are seeing an unprecedented rise in demand for their services.”
John Crossman, from Sherborne Foodbank, said: “We are extremely grateful for the immense generosity of so many local people and of partners such as Mogers Drewett.
“Sadly, demand is the highest we have known it in our area and is growing by the week.
“Your support provides a lifeline to people in desperate need and enables us, on your behalf, to express the concern of our community to help our neighbours though these difficult times. Thank you.”
Mr McDonough added: “We see this as the start of a longer-term relationship through 2023 which will include the firm encouraging staff to volunteer at food banks and working with the food bank team to identify additional support needed in 2023.”
