Mary Dunn, managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK, said: “The festive season is always a hard time for people affected by food poverty, so we are incredibly proud to have supported so many amazing causes in Fife this Christmas.”
Aldi has been working with Neighbourly since early 2019.
As part of the partnership, it introduced community donation points in all stores last year, offering customers the opportunity to donate any food or household products to local causes all year round.
