Food collection needs volunteers

PEOPLE in Dumfries are being urged to give the gift of their time to take part in the UK’s biggest food donation drive.

The Tesco Winter Food Collection is taking place in all Tesco stores from November 27-29.

And Tesco’s charity partners, Trussell and FareShare, are calling for volunteers to sign-up to support the event in store as both charities are providing a lifeline in response to high levels of need.

During the collection shoppers will be encouraged to donate long-life food to support the charities in their work.

Volunteers will help out at collection points in store to raise awareness of the impact every single donation will have on those who rely on Trussell and FareShare for food.

To sign up to volunteer in your local Tesco store go to https://fareshare.org.uk/foodcollection/ or www.trussell.org.uk/support-us/tesco-food-collection.
