MORE than 13,000 meals have been provided to charities and community groups in Oban thanks to Tesco’s surplus food redistribution scheme, Community Food Connection.
The total has been released to mark the roll-out of the scheme across all of Tesco’s stores across the UK.
Stores are able to provide surplus food every night. In Scotland, Tesco’s initiative has seen two million meals donated to local groups, including homeless shelters, community centres, breakfast clubs and vulnerable older people.
