As part of the supermarket’s pledge to donate 10 million meals this year, it has committed to donate more meals than ever to good causes over the festive period.
With all Aldi stores set to close on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and News Year’s Day, the retailer wants to ensure that any products approaching the end of their shelf life are put to good use.

Existing charity partnerships will be prioritised for these festive collections, but where there’s availability, additional organisations are being invited to apply to be paired with a local Aldi store to collect fresh and chilled food products – including fruit, vegetables, fresh meat, fish and bread.
Mary Dunn, managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK, said: “We know that Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for the families and communities we support
“That’s why we are so committed to increasing the number of meals we donate over the festive season, and forward to working with local charities in Fife.”
