Good causes in Fife have benefitted from a supermarket's donation of over 5,000 meals to good causes.

Aldi stores at Halbeath Road and Duloch in Dunfermline, and Dalgety Bay, have contributed towards a total donation of 5,112 meals to causes in Fife who helped people in need over the Easter school holidays.

Liz Fox, corporate responsibility director at Aldi UK, said: "We understand that the school holidays can be an especially challenging time for families, particularly amid the current cost-of-living crisis."

The supermarket’s stores in Fife and across the rest of the UK have paired up with local charities, community groups and foodbanks through its partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly.

Lix continued: “Neighbourly carries out such vital work in the community, so we’re proud to be able to support them and the charities, foodbanks and community groups they work with in Fife in their efforts to support those who may be struggling.”

More than 550,000 meals were donated throughout the UK, with almost 2,000 UK causes benefitting from the initiative.

Steve Butterworth, the CEO of Neighbourly, said: “The impact of the cost-of-living crisis has intensified, meaning that the demand on foodbanks is continuing to increase, particularly during the school holidays.

“The donations from Aldi are a lifeline for many and provide the essential boost good causes need to continue supporting their local communities.”
