Tesco Food Collection 2018 – we need your help!

The Food Collection is run by Tesco in partnership with The Trussell Trust and FareShare and this year runs from 29th November – 1st December in large Tesco stores. All food collected in stores for our network of foodbanks is used locally and is an invaluable boost to stocks at a time of year that when demand for emergency food is high. Tesco also generously tops up customer food donations by 20% by making a financial contribution.
 
If you would like to help people in your community this Christmas, please consider sparing a few hours to help at your local Food Collection. We need volunteers to greet shoppers, hand out shopping lists and collect food donations between Thursday 29th November and Saturday 1st December. Follow the link to find your nearest participating store.
 
Last year the foodbanks in our network received over 850 tonnes of food during the Tesco Food Collection and this year, with your help, we’re hoping to collect even more!

Budget 2018 


The changes announced in Monday’s Budget will make a real difference to many people supported by Universal Credit in the future - but the Government must go further. We believe our benefits system should protect people from needing foodbanks, find out more by reading our response to the budget and await further information soon about how you can join our campaign to make it happen.
