In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Edinburgh Food Project director Bethany Biggar echoed the food bank’s excitement over Swift’s gift, saying, “We are thrilled that Taylor has decided to support the foodbanks and leave a lasting impact on Edinburgh. Things are really tough for a lot of people right now, so it is lovely to see someone like Taylor spreading such positivity.”

Following news of Swift’s “lovely” donation, the food bank tells PEOPLE they’ve received several others from Edinburgh Swifties as well as fans from other places in the U.K. and abroad. Donations will go toward operations for the Edinburgh Food Project’s seven foodbanks across the city and to helping the “6,000+ people in crisis that we support every year.”
