Southampton food banks benefit from £15m Tesco donation
EMERGENCY food supplies across the city have been upped with the help of part of a £15 million supermarket donation.
Tesco has given additional food to support its partner charities and food banks the Trussell Trust and FareShare, in response to the extra demands of emergency food supplies caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
A total of 122 trucks full of Tesco food donations have been delivered to the two charities, with 83 tonnes of food being delivered to the FareShare regional centre in Southampton to support 165 charities with 196,433 meals.
