CHARITIES helping people in need this festive season will be able to collect free food from branches of Aldi on Christmas Eve.
The supermarket is calling on charities and community groups to register to collect fruit, vegetables, fresh meat, fish and bread after the store closes at 6pm.
Last Christmas, Aldi donated just under half a million meals to charities across the UK, and is hoping to increase the number this year.
Charitable groups interested in working with Aldi this Christmas should contact Neighbourly at aldichristmas@Neighbourly.com before Monday November 11.
All groups that apply must have a level 2 hygiene certificate gained in the last two years, be a registered charity, CIC or community group and be able to collect, transport and store chilled food products.
