This Christmas, Tesco will be running their third Neighbourhood Food Collection in a bid to collect ten million meals for those in need by the end of the year.

Customers at Tesco in Caterham will be invited to donate food in store from Friday 29th November until Sunday 1st December, as the retailer gears up to hold the biggest ever food collection in the UK.

Tesco will be joined by Foodbanks charity the Trussell Trust and food redistribution charity FareShare for the collection.

Customers at the Caterham Tesco will be given a special selected shopping list when they enter the store and will be asked to pick up an item of food such as long- life milk, cereal, tinned foods and tea and coffee before donating it at the end of their shop. The food will then be distributed to the local foodbank before being given to people in times of crisis.

Tesco will be topping up total donations by a further 30%.
