TESCO’S food surplus redistribution initiative, Community Food Connection, has served up 15,327 meals in Argyll and Bute.
This work is a key part of Tesco’s target to ensure no food safe for human consumption will go to waste by the end of 2017. Charities benefi ting from the scheme include homeless hostels, breakfast clubs for disadvantaged children, domestic violence refuges and lunch clubs for older people.
Launched in February 2016, the scheme plays a key role in helping charities feed people and in doing so, enables the money saved to be invested back into services in communities.
