What does Tesco do with a van that’s no longer suitable for their needs, but still has plenty of life left?
They donate it to Coventry Foodbank.
Fighting food poverty in coventry
Tesco has been a major supporter of the Trussel Trust and a generous donor to Coventry Foodbank since its inception in 2011. So what better way to repurpose an old van than donate it to support the work of the Foodbank?
Want to donate your surplus stock?
The van has been a fantastic asset in helping us fight food poverty in Coventry. We use it to transport food from donation points across the city to our warehouse, and deliver food parcels to our 14 foodbank centres across the city.
Tesco’s donation has been a vital part of feeding tens of thousands of people every year. Their logo remains on the van next to ours in recognition of their generous gift.
giving surplus stock
Thanks to Tesco’s creative and generous use of a van surplus to requirements, some of the most vulnerable people facing food poverty in our city have been supported. Coventry Foodbank is about so much more than food – beginning with a food parcel, we help people get back on their feet and work towards a financially stable, sustainable future. That’s the impact of Tesco’s gift!
