Aldi hits food donation milestone
Aldi has now donated 30 million meals to good causes since launching its food donations initiative in 2019.
In partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly, all of the supermarket’s 990 UK stores are partnered with foodbanks, charities and community groups across the country, who receive surplus food year-round.
The discounter said that as a result of the partnership, more than 4,000 good causes have benefitted from the scheme, including soup kitchens and children’s breakfast clubs.
The milestone follows Aldi’s donation of £250,000 to Neighbourly ahead of the Christmas period, launching its Emergency Winter Foodbank Fund to further support increased demand on these organisations.
