Tesco teams up with leading food waste charity to fight hunger and poverty in South Wales this month<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"

FareShare is collaborating with Tesco to make a difference in local communities by organising food collections at South Wales branches this November.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scheme is nationwide, but collections<\/a> will be taking place in branches in Cardiff, Swansea and beyond between 29 November and 1 December.<\/span><\/p>\n

FareShare tackles food waste and poverty by taking surplus products from the food and drink industry and redistributing it to people in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

The collections will involve volunteers handing out shopping lists to supermarket goers who can donate any of the items suggested.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phil Pinder, a volunteer project officer at FareShare, said: \u201c<\/span>The Tesco food collection makes up about 2-5% of the food we save from waste per year, but it does allow us to gain things that we don’t get often which we can then provide to our clients.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A report by The Food Foundation<\/a> said that 5.6% of people over the age of 15 struggle to get enough to eat, FareShare aims to tackle this issue by repurposing wasted food.<\/span><\/p>\n

The charity has been making a huge impact in Wales this year. \u201cBetween April and August this year we [FareShare Cymru South Wales] saved 213 tons of food from waste which went to our 61 community food members,\u201d\u00a0Phil said, \u201cthey turned this food into 506,850 meals.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

FareShare\u2019s frugal efforts go further than just helping local communities eat well for less – the cost of food waste for the UK government is \u00a317 billion per year, according to a study by WRAP<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Community centres in South Wales are working with the charity to tackle the cost of food waste and fight against poverty in their area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volunteers at the Tesco collections will sort, log, pack and deliver the food to community food members, said Phil.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in volunteering for FareShare\u2019s Tesco collection event then please get in touch via their website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
