Aldi’s Food Donation Campaign
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the launch of Aldi’s Christmas food donation campaign, which sees local Aldi stores partnered with local charitable organisations to donate surplus food on Christmas Eve, with over 495,000 meals being donated in 2018 alone; notes that this is the third year that Aldi has partnered with charities to ensure that those most in need in the community receive surplus fresh food during the festive period; further notes that 95% of Aldi’s 850 stores across the UK are now paired with local good causes collecting surplus food up to five days a week, and encourages other suppliers to make every effort to ensure that food surplus redistribution programmes and partners are supported not only at Christmas but throughout the year to help create a more sustainable world for all.
