FOUR national supermarkets have joined forces to help tackle hunger in the UK.

Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Waitrose have thrown their weight behind the ‘Let’s Make A Meal Of It’ campaign.

Customers will be able to donate and every £1 raised will provide five meals for people facing hunger.

All money donated will go to FareShare, supporting thousands of frontline charities and community groups.

It will be spent on sourcing and redistributing meals from surplus food.

Beneficiaries will include children who’ll receive a hot meal at youth clubs during the holidays and people experiencing loneliness and isolation who can meet others over a shared meal.

Kristopher Gibbon-Walsh, CEO of FareShare, said: ‘Through Alliance Food Sourcing, FareShare and The Felix Project are transforming surplus food into meals—reducing waste, strengthening communities, and changing lives across the UK.’

The campaign will run in Waitrose and Morrisons online, and in Tesco and Sainsbury’s online and in stores.

Matthew Barnes, UK CEO of Tesco, said: ‘We are excited to support the Let’s make a meal of it campaign and strengthen our partnership with FareShare.

‘Collaboration is key to addressing food insecurity, and we are happy to partner on this with the other retailers’.
