Supermarket donations

You can donate items during your supermarket shop by leaving them at donation points at the following locations. Your donations will be delivered to us, where we’ll pack them into emergency food parcels.

Please note supermarket donations points are for in-store shoppers only.

Other donations can be left at Tesco but must not be left unless they are clearly labelled in sealed bags to show they are not bought directly from the Tesco store.
