Aldi Donates Nearly 140,000 Meals to UK Charities over Summer Holidays
The supermarket said the donations lifted its 2026 total to 10.9 million meals, up 24%, as summer demand stayed high for charities.
- Aldi redistributed nearly 140,000 meals to charities during the summer holidays, bringing the supermarket's 2026 total to 10.9 million meals, a 24% increase from pre-holiday levels.
- Since 2019, Aldi has partnered with Neighbourly to redistribute surplus food, with Luke Emery, National Sustainability Director at Aldi, stating there is "no reason for good food to go to waste when it can be put to use by organisations supporting their local communities."
- Steve Butterworth, CEO of Neighbourly, noted that summer holidays increase pressure on families facing higher food costs, and regular donations help charities "keep shelves stocked and respond to what people in their communities need."
- Local branches in Falkirk, Camelon, and Polmont contributed to these totals, while shoppers can further support efforts by donating essentials at community donation points in Aldi stores nationwide.
- Beyond holiday initiatives, Aldi works with Company Shop to redistribute surplus food from Regional Distribution Centres, providing charities with consistent essentials throughout the year.
