Shoppers in the county are being encouraged to drop off essential groceries at their nearest Aldi through its nationwide community collection points, with all donations distributed to nearby foodbanks and charities. The appeal is particularly focused on the summer school holidays, a period that often brings increased financial strain for families with children at home. "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." Steve Butterworth, CEO at Neighbourly, said: "When schools break up for summer, many families lose access to the support they rely on during term time, while household food costs often increase. "Thanks to the continued support of Aldi and its customers, local charities can respond to increased demand and help ensure families have access to the support they need throughout the holidays."
