Customers of Tesco have donated over 3.6 million meals to charity during the supermarket's sixth Neighbourhood Food Collection this summer. The food will be redistributed to people in need via charity partners FareShare and The Trussell Trust, with Tesco adding an extra 30% to all customer donations. This year customers donated 13% more than they did in the 2014 collection. The total number of meals donated so far this year, including local collections, surplus food from Tesco's dotcom distribution centres and Tesco's 30% top-up, is over 6 million. Since the Neighbourhood Food Collection began in December 2012 over 27.5 million meals have been donated. Customers are also donating more food via Tesco stores on a daily basis throughout the year. In the first six months of 2015 over 2.1 million meals worth of food have been donated at permanent collection points that operate in 507 Tesco store. This is almost as much as the whole of 2014 combined.
