Aldi have once again pledged to donate any surplus food to people who really need it this Christmas Eve although this is already something the supermarket tends to do on a weekly basis throughout the year.
Working in partnership with Neighbourly, Aldi stores throughout the UK donate surplus food up to five days a week, all year round.
Getting into the Christmas spirit, Aldi is inviting charities and community groups to be paired up with their local Aldi store to collect fresh unsold food products, like fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and bread.
Fritz Walleczek, Managing Director of Corporate Responsibility at Aldi UK, said, “Our Christmas food donation scheme is something we’re really passionate about, and we’re working with Neighbourly this year to pair as many stores up as possible.”
Aldi said, “As Aldi stores will shut at 4pm on Christmas Eve until December 27th, they will have a variety of good quality surplus food products that they will wish to redistribute in support of less fortunate individuals and to prevent food going to waste.
“Aldi is unable to deliver products so it would be essential that your organisation is able to collect.”
