As part of Tesco's partnership with Trussell Trust and FareShare, the second National Food Collection to help feed people in need was held over the weekend of the 5 and 6 July.
In 2012, FareShare redistributed enough food for 10 million meals. This food was delivered to more than 900 charities, helping to feed 43,700 people each day. That’s 7,200 more people per day than in 2011. And last year almost 350,000 people turned to Trussell Trust foodbanks for help. That was almost three times the number who received food aid in the previous year and 100,000 more than anticipated.
Tesco are making donations go even further by topping it up by 30%.* #EveryCanHelps
In Hucknall, Tesco manager Joanne Shanks approached the Rotary Club because she wanted to support local projects as well and saw Rotary as the people to facilitate. We were not only able to help in collecting, but were able to link Tesco's with Hucknall's Engage project. The Engage project is run by the local churches and delivers 125-150 food parcels to needy families a month.
