Local Stores Helping Communities
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Asda Milton store in Dundee on its efforts in supporting local good causes and people in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; understands that the Milton store has donated 1,748 meals across the community in partnership with FareShare Tayside & Fife, which provides quality surplus food to over 90 community projects throughout Dundee, Perth and Kinross and Angus, redistributing food from both local and national suppliers and helping to address both food poverty and food waste in and around Dundee; notes that, through Asda’s Fight Hunger Create Change campaign, over £20 million is being investing over three years to support FareShare and the Trussell Trust in tackling poverty, and welcomes the continuing efforts to help some of the most vulnerable people at this time and beyond.
