Yorkshire charities urged to join Aldi food donation scheme
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 06:03 · Archive
Aldi is offering surplus food from its stores to Yorkshire charities and community groups, with extra donations available over Christmas.
Aldi's surplus food programme, run in partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly, offers charities and community groups across Yorkshire the chance to collect surplus food from nearby stores. The scheme operates year-round, but additional donations will be available over the festive period, as all Aldi stores will close on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
Luke Emery, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: 'At Christmas, so many local charities, food banks and community groups are working harder than ever to support people in their area, and we want to make sure good food gets to those who need it most.' He encouraged customers to spread the word about groups that could benefit.
Aldi has already donated more than 15 million meals through the partnership this year. Steve Butterworth, chief executive officer at Neighbourly, said the donations are important for charities and community groups supporting people through winter. Charities not yet registered can email aldi@neighbourly.com to express interest.
