Tesco shoppers have helped donate more than a million meals THE public s generosity really has been incredible during the pandemic - as illustrated by customers at a Wirral supermarket. Shoppers at Tesco in Heswall have been praised for donating 4,157 meals to help those struggling during the coronavirus pandemic. During the Tesco Food Collection at the end of November shoppers donated enough packets, tins and boxes to provide 800,000 meals to help the Trussell Trust and FareShare in their vital work. Nationally, more than a million meals were donated during the campaign. Holding the Tesco Food Collections, which ran for three days in large stores, is just one of a number of ways in which Tesco supports the two food charities.
