SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is urging his constituents to give the gift of their time later this month.
Mr Rowlands is encouraging people in North Wales to volunteer to take part in the UK’s biggest food collection.
He said: “I am happy to support the annual Tesco Winter Food Collection which is now in its twelfth year. It is a great campaign and one which we can all get involved in by donating long life food in our local Tesco stores.
“All food donated will go to Tesco’s charity partners, Trussell Trust and Fareshare who work together to ensure that food banks are stocked and donated or excess food is available for people who need it.
“If you have some time on your hands and want to get involved then please sign up today.”
During the collection which is taking place in all Tesco stores from November 28th to November 30th. Tesco customers will be encouraged to donate long-life food to support the charities in their work.
Donations for Trussell will help its network of food banks provide emergency food parcels to people who cannot afford the essentials, while donations to FareShare will support its network of 8,000 local charities and community groups helping to feed people in local communities across the UK.
Tesco is calling on people to volunteer at collection points in store to speak to customers and raise awareness of the impact every donation will have on people across the UK, who rely on Trussell and FareShare for food.
You can sign up to volunteer in your local Tesco store with FareShare by clicking here or with Trussell by clicking here.
