FareShare Tesco Food Collection

TESCO FOOD COLLECTION 21st – 23rd November 2019

This is a nationwide mission, organised by FareShare (fighting hunger, tackling food waste) in partnership with Tesco. At the time of writing, there are shifts available at Tesco Copdock, Tesco Kesgrave, Tesco Martlesham Extra, and Tesco Felixstowe Metro.

Please use this link https://fareshare.org.uk/tescofoodcollection/ to find a shift which suits you at whichever store you'd prefer and sign up. You can sign up as an individual or as a group if you want to get together. Please note that whilst the address is set as our usual meeting point, this is just a default and you'll need to make your own way to the shift you choose.

This is the description of the mission from the FareShare website: As a volunteer, you will be in store handing out FareShare "shopping lists" with suggestions of what to donate and collecting donations from customers whilst spreading some Christmas cheer. The food you collect will then be redistributed to nearly 11,000 charities across the country. Sign up to volunteer as an individual or bring your colleagues, family and friends with you.

You can make a big difference to the 8.4 million people currently living in food poverty in the UK.
