Tesco Food Collection

Every year, winter hits people facing hunger hardest. Exhausted, isolated and left without enough money to live on, thousands of people will need a food bank for the first time. 

Tesco Winter Food Collection is crucial in enabling food banks in the Trussell community to provide emergency food and support to people facing hunger and hardship. 

Play your part and help your local community – donate food or make a financial gift to Trussell during the Tesco Food Collection.
 

Donate money

Donate food

To make a donation, head to your local Tesco store during the collection dates, pick up an item or two from the list of your local food bank’s most needed items as part of your shop, and hand them to the volunteers or pop them in the collection point.

The items you generously donate during the Tesco Food Collection will help form emergency food parcels to support people facing hunger and hardship in your local community.

Wider support

Trussell has been in partnership with Tesco since 2012, and the partnership is the single biggest source of donated food in the Trussell community. Tesco generously makes a financial donation of £1.25m per year to Trussell. Find out more about our partnership.

Plus, for the fourth year in a row Tesco Mobile has pledged a Byte for a Bite, matching every meal donated to Trussell during the Tesco Food Collection with a free GB of data, meaning your donation will go even further, helping to digitally connect people facing hardship too. Find out more about our partnership with Tesco Mobile.    

Over the last three years, Tesco Bank has supported Trussell through colleague fundraising activities.
