The 2024 Tesco Food Collection has now ended. A huge thank you to everyone who played their part by donating food, volunteering their time or making a financial gift to Trussell.
Winter can often be the most difficult time of year for people facing hardship, and our food banks are pushed to breaking point as levels of need continue to rise. With more people than ever struggling to afford the essentials, the Tesco Winter Food Collection is crucial in enabling our community of food banks to deliver emergency food and support to people facing hunger.
The Tesco collection day is really special. You get hit by a wave of generosity and humanity throughout the day.
You can still support us
Donate food
You can donate essential items to your local food bank in over 1,000 large and Express Tesco stores across the UK, all year round. To make a donation, head to your local Tesco store, pick up an item or two from the list of your local food bank’s most needed items, and pop them in the collection point.
The items you generously donate will help form emergency food parcels to support people facing hardship in your local community.
Our partnership with Tesco
We’ve been partnering with Tesco since 2012, and our partnership is the single biggest source of donated food in our community. Tesco generously makes a financial donation of £1.25m per year to Trussell. Find out more about our partnership
