Last Christmas, Aldi donated nearly 450,000 meals to good causes throughout the UK, and expects to increase this number for Christmas 2020.
The meals will support those in need at a time when more households are experiencing financial hardship and food insecurity as a result of the pandemic.

Hide AdThanks to Aldi’s successful partnership with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to food banks and charities, all of Aldi’s 894 UK stores now donate surplus food seven days a week, all year round.
Charities will be paired with local Aldi stores and can collect fresh and chilled food products – including fruit, vegetables, fresh meat, fish and bread – ahead of stores closing on Christmas Eve.
Luke Peech, managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK, said: “Our Christmas food donations scheme plays a big role in supporting those in need during the festive period.
" This is our fourth year running the initiative and we look forward to working with local charities in Mansfield and Ashfield once again.
