Be part of the UK’s biggest food collection and help to fight hunger in the UK.
As more and more people are turning to charities for food, FareShare Cymru North Wales are partnering with Tesco and the Trussell Trust for the fourth time on Thursday 3rd, Friday 4th and Saturday 5th July 2014, to run a national food collection in Tesco stores across the country.
Since December 2012, generous Tesco customers donated enough food for an incredible 10.2 million meals across the UK. We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with this year’s event so we can do bigger and better. We’d love for you to be part of it!
Volunteers have a vital role to play in making this event a big success. You’ll be asking shoppers to donate long life products like rice, pasta, tea and coffee, as these items rarely become surplus. This food will be combined with the surplus, fresh produce we receive daily from the food industry and redistributed to over1,290 charities and community projects across the UK, reaching vulnerable people, such as children in breakfast clubs, women fleeing domestic violence and older people in luncheon clubs.
If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you! To find your local Tesco store and register as a volunteer please complete the registration form at http://www.fareshare.org.uk/food-collection-2014/
