Tesco says customers in Guildford can now help to provide millions of meals to feed children this summer and beyond, thanks to a scheme it is now running.

Tesco’s Buy One to Help a Child campaign aims to provide up to three million meals for Tesco’s charity partner FareShare to redistribute to charities and community groups supporting children.

It adds that, 2.3 million children in the UK  live in households that have experienced food insecurity in the past six months, a situation that has worsened during the pandemic.

Tesco is making a donation for every piece of fresh fruit and veg bought in its Guildford stores from now until August 8, as part of its Buy One to Help a Child campaign.

The campaign aims to provide up to three million meals for Tesco’s charity partner FareShare to redistribute to charities and community groups supporting children.

Tesco says it has been working with FareShare since 2016, redistributing more than 120 million meals of food to charities and community groups across the UK.

FareShare supports frontline charities and community groups working with children – from summer holiday clubs and breakfast clubs to community kitchens and groups which supply food parcels to those facing food insecurity.
