Deputy Leader of Birmingham City Council, Cllr Ian Ward, said: “On behalf of the city I would like to thank the Frankfurt stallholders for their annual act of generosity.”
Garry Murphy, William Booth Centre manager, added: “The donations of food from the Frankfurt Market stallholders will help us to give support for those sleeping rough on the streets of Birmingham as well as those accessing accommodation over this Christmas period.”
