Across Lincolnshire, Aldi has paired up a total of 14 of its stores with local good causes.

Each store is donating perishable items such as fresh fruit and veg, long life items, and baked goods.

Fritz Walleczek, managing director of corporate responsibility at Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “We’re always looking for new and creative ways to increase the amount of food we are able to donate.

“This partnership is enabling us to distribute even more surplus stock, while supporting a vast range of good causes, across Lincolnshire.”
