TWO charities providing vital food to people hit by the Covid-19 pandemic are appealing for people in Fife to help support the UK’s biggest food collection this Christmas.
From Thursday, November 19 until Saturday, November 21 charities FareShare and the Trussell Trust will be collecting food in Tesco stores across the UK and Northern Ireland during the annual pre-Christmas Tesco Food Collection.
The need for food to help the food banks and community groups which the two charities support is more vital than ever this year given the pressures caused by Covid-19. FareShare are looking for people to volunteer at donation points in store whilst the Trussell Trust is looking for social media volunteers to share shopping lists on social media to encourage people to donate.
During the collection customers are encouraged to donate long-life food to help food banks and community groups support people this Christmas. Tesco will top up customer donations by 20% in cash to aid the two charities in their work.
