Sainsbury's Fareshare Food Drive
25 November
While shoppers might normally be expected to take food away from a supermarket, customers at Sainsbury’s Prestwick will soon be leaving food behind too.
The store, situated in Ayr Road, Prestwick, is taking part in a unique one day food collection on Saturday 26th November, where customers will be asked to buy an extra item, which will then be delivered to local charities and community projects by the charity FareShare this Christmas.
The ‘One Million Meal Appeal’ takes place on Saturday 26th November. Customers can choose from a variety of long-life items including tins (meat, fish, veg, fruit), dried pasta, rice, tea and instant coffee. The items are purchased as normal at the checkout and left in the food collection point at the front of the store. The food will then be collected by either Sainsbury’s or their corporate partner Allied Bakeries, who are providing logistical support for this event, and sent to FareShare, where the food will then be redistributed to local charities and community groups across the UK.
