Foodbank collection at Tesco
Wed 14th January 2015Tesco's neighbourhood food collection took place in stores across the UK over the festive season, proving to be a tremendous success.
Customers at Tesco's Beverley store on Morton Lane donated 1,267kg of food, which Tesco will top up by 30%. This will allow our local foodbank to distribute around 400 meals to local people in need over the next few weeks.
Dave Ryley, Tesco Beverley's community champion, said: "We would like to thank all our customers who supported our collection. Thanks to your fantastic generosity, we can provide much-needed food for hundreds of local people.
"We would also like to thank all the volunteers from the Beverley branch of the Holderness Foodbank, who helped with the collection throughout the week."
