The project is part of the 'Food for our Communities' initiative which has produced around 22,500 meals and sandwiches since the project inspired by Carole Bamford, the wife of JCB chairman Lord Bamford, started last month.
Church Warden Susan Maiden-Dalton is co-ordinating the St Michael's Church volunteer group, which delivers the meals. She said: "When we knock on people's doors with the meals everyone is so pleased to realise they are being looked after in this way and are so grateful to JCB for supplying the food and to the kind volunteers" who are delivering it."
Audrey Pegg, aged 78, said: "My favourite out of all the meals is the cottage pie. I really appreciate what is being done as it really helps me out."
The meals are delivered to the village's Premier Store ready for volunteers Richard Howells, Chris Sheldon, Scott Beaton and Frank Dalton to deliver. The sandwiches are kept in the shop's chiller and handed out to key workers in the village.
Since the launch of the JCB scheme, catering staff at the company's World HQ in Rocester have been preparing meals and sandwiches for distribution to communities in Stoke-on-Trent, Rocester and Uttoxeter during the Coronavirus crisis.
