ALDI CAMBORNE

Our ethos: “Take only what you need; give back when you can”. Hayle has two community food cupboards, one in Copperhouse opposite Down The Line surf shop and one at Foundry Square. The cupboards are stocked and maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets, which could otherwise go to landfill. The food provided in the cupboards doesn't stay on the shelves for long! We are very grateful for consistent support from Aldi, Lidl, M&S and Sainsburys. From time to time the cupboards also benefit from fresh produce donated by The Cornwall Gleaning Network.

We provide surplus food free for all to have from our pop up larder at the library. We provide crisis boxes for people in need and help provide meals for the homeless. Our pop up Larder is on Monday 9.30-10.30am at Camborne Community Centre huts. This food will be out of best before date from shops. All available for anyone and the service is ran by volunteers. We are contactable for our other services we provide. Come and see us or message for any information.

The Cornwall Aid Centre is based in Redruth Cornwall bringing much needed aid in various ways supporting many disadvantaged people in the community. e.g. schools/school children supplying with stationery (pencil cases of relevant stationery for SATs), OAPs supplied with toiletries and food, young mums with toiletries/food, disabled with support, breakfast clubs and clothes to people in need. This project works successfully helping bring welfare, kindness and confidence into the lives of many who are disadvantaged. The many volunteers work tirelessly to establish links into the community in order to broaden its help to people in need. Foodbanks obtain their food from supermarket customer donations but we also require surplus, short-date or end-of-line stocks from manufacturers and retailers... this food is saved from Landfil helping the suppliers save on their landfill tax.
