Tesco customers can make a huge difference to the lives of the Isle of Man people facing hunger and hardship by donating long-life items this week.
This comes as stores in the Isle of Man are taking part in the 12th annual Tesco Winter Food Collection.
All food collected will stay on the Isle of Man and go to those who need it locally.
Tesco is making its pre-packed customer donation bags available at even more stores in an effort to top the two million meals donated at last year’s collection.
Food Bags
All large stores already offer them during the supermarket’s Winter Food Collection, but this year 86 of the largest Express stores will also stock them to make donating even easier no matter where you shop.
The bags, which typically cost between £2 and £3, are pre-filled with healthy and nutritious long-life items and can be picked up by the Isle of Man customers in store and paid for at the checkout.
The donated food is passed to FareShare and Trussell, who will distribute it to charities and food banks to help families who need it most.
Tesco’s Winter Food Collection, the biggest in the UK, runs in Express stores from November 25-30 and in large stores from November 28-30.
According to FareShare and Trussell are UHT and powered milk, the most-needed items tinned meat and fish, and sponge and rice pudding.
