Christmas is supposed to be a season for joy and celebration – but for millions of families it is one of the toughest times of the year as they struggle to put food on the table and heat their homes.

That’s why Penryn and Falmouth Foodbank is asking shoppers in Falmouth to spread some festive kindness and support local people in crisis this Christmas by donating to Tesco’s annual winter food collection.

From Monday 15th to Saturday 20 November, Tesco customers at Falmouth Tesco Metro will be greeted on their way into store and encouraged to pick up food items as they shop to drop in special donation trollies on the way out of store.

The food donations will be used to support people across the local area who are struggling to put food on the table this Christmas and could be forced to use a food bank over the festive period.

Customers being asked to donate essential items of long-life food such as Tinned VegetablesandTinned Meat, Tinned Fruit and Seasonal fare.
