FOODBANKS are calling for donations of everyday essentials this summer as families face extra pressure during the school holidays. Customers can donate any of these items at community collection points in Aldi stores nationwide, with all donations distributed to local foodbanks and charities through Aldi’s long-standing partnership with Neighbourly. “By sharing the items charities need most, we hope to make it as easy as possible for shoppers to give back while they’re in store.”
