Volunteers are sought for the Tesco Food Collection.

Taking place in all Tesco stores from November 30 to December 2, the food drive will assist two charities.

Trussell Trust and FareShare are bracing for a busy winter, with Trussell Trust anticipating distributing over one million emergency food parcels.

Donations for Trussell Trust will help its network of food banks provide emergency food parcels to people who cannot afford essentials, and donations to FareShare will get food to its network of 8,500 local charities and community groups.

Claire De Silva, Head of Community at Tesco, said: “Every year our Winter Food Collection gets such an amazing response from our customers. We know that they give even more generously when we have volunteers in our stores helping them to choose the right items that are needed so we would urge anyone who can to please sign up and help make a difference.”

Volunteers can sign up directly on the participating charities' websites.
