From the 30th November to 2nd December, we’re hosting a food collection with Tesco as part of the tenth Food Collection.
The Tesco Food Collection is manned by Trussell Trust volunteers who will hand out shopping lists of tinned and dried goods at stores to encourage customers to buy an extra item of food or two during their shop. Customers can then kindly donate these items to their local foodbank on their way out of the store at a food collection point.
We will be at Tesco Allerton Road, Woolton for 3 days. Following the collection, Tesco generously tops up the customer food donations gifting an extra 20% as a financial contribution to the foodbanks. Every donated item will not only help provide vital food for people experiencing crisis, but gain additional top up funding that will help Trussell Trust foodbanks provide much needed further support. We spend our 20% contribution on a van (driver, insurance, deliveries to centres and collections) and toiletries.
We are currently short of long life juice (apple or orange), sponge puddings, Christmas puddings, coffee, tea (40 bags), instant custard, tinned fruit (such as peaches, pears, apricots), tinned meat (such as minced beef & onion, ham, pork). These items will be available to buy in store during the Food Collection and afterwards.
Thank you in advance for your support and partnership
