All of the supermarket’s shops in the county helped local charities and food banks during the period of increased demand by redistributing surplus food through community giving platform Neighbourly.
Aldi has worked with Neighbourly since 2019 and has already donated more than 8.8 million meals nationwide so far this year.
Luke Emery, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: “We are proud to continue supporting incredible causes across the country this summer, helping to provide fresh, wholesome food to those who need it most.
“School holidays can be a challenging time for many families, and this summer we’re continuing our efforts to provide support where we can through our partnership with Neighbourly.”
Steve Butterworth, CEO of Neighbourly, added: “Summer holidays represent one of the busiest times of the year for charities and food banks, and this year was no different.
“Aldi’s generous donations played a key role in helping support families, and our partnership continues to make a meaningful difference to those who need it most.”
Shoppers can also donate food to local charities, food banks, and community groups via community donation points in Aldi stores nationwide.
The supermarket also collaborates with Company Shop to redistribute surplus food from its regional distribution centres.
