ALDI CHELMSFORD DISTRIBUTION CENTRE

Building communities and strengthening families

We are already part of the Fare Share food scheme and Greggs surplus where we distribute food which would of been thrown away to our families in our preschool. We feel strongly about teaching our children how not to waste food as well as educate our families on what they can do with the food we give them. Being part of neighbourly will helps us to further our goal of redistributing food which would of gone to waste and help our families save money. We also work with a local charity Community Embrace which is a Community Food Pantry where we signpost our families too. We work with Greggs to help combat food waste from one of their local stores. We set all of this surplus food out on tables and in fridges and freezers for the parents at the preschool to help themselves Free of charge. We are in an area of deprivation so this food is a huge help to all of our families especially during the cost of living crisis. Any help with more food donations will always be appreciated.
