Aldi announces its biggest ever summer holidays meal donations

Aldi is looking to make its biggest and best ever meal donation over the school holidays so far, with what's the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket expecting to offer something like 1.5 million meals to those in need of food poverty help during the upcoming summer holidays.

All of its over 990 UK stores will support local charities and foodbanks during a period of increased demand by redistributing surplus food via community giving platform Neighbourly, with the supermarket already donating over seven million meals so far this year.

During this summer, Aldi will also be giving every child in the UK a chance to try an Olympic or Paralympic sport for free as part of its ‘Get a Taste for Sport’ initiative.

In partnership with Team GB and ParalympicsGB, shoppers who spend over £30 in store before Monday 31st July will receive a voucher which will enable a child to a free taster session of an Olympic or Paralympic sport, helping parents meet the cost of extra-curricular activities during the long summer holidays.

Liz Fox, who is the Corporate Responsibility Director at Aldi UK, said: “The school holidays are always an incredibly difficult time for households across the UK, worsened by the continuing cost-of-living crisis. That’s why Aldi is firmly committed to supporting even more families in need this summer via our food donations scheme with Neighbourly, helping vital local charities provide meals to those who need them the most.”

Steve Butterworth, from Neighbourly, added: “Demand on charities and foodbanks is incredibly high and these organisations are in need of more support than ever before. This push in donations from Aldi will be absolutely vital in helping so many families during the school holidays and we're fully aware how grateful they'll be.”

Since Aldi’s partnership with Neighbourly began back in 2019, stores have already donated in excess of a staggering and heart-warming 35 million meals.

Shoppers can also donate food to local charities, food banks and community groups via the community donation points that are located within Aldi stores nationwide.

Britain’s fourth largest supermarket also works with Company Shop, the UK’s leading redistributor of surplus food and household products, to redistribute surplus food from its Regional Distribution Centres to Community Shops around the country.
