Iseult Ward, CEO of FoodCloud, says that since the pandemic began, more and more charities have been availing of the hub's services.
"Thanks to the early donation by Aldi of €50,000 of non-surplus stock, we have been able to create new partnerships with Local Development Companies, ensuring ongoing distribution to those in need as the economic fallout of Covid-19 continues to take its toll on communities.
"We will continue helping charities and communities in need across Ireland, and donations such as Aldi’s are a great help to us.”
Mary Sheridan, Principal of St Bricin’s College in Belturbet, Co Cavan, added that the increase of FoodCloud parcels in her area has been "incredible to see." “As a principal of a DEIS school supporting families in the area, we knew there was a gap in supply to some of the most vulnerable in our community," she said. "It was just incredible to see the Gardaí and the Civil Defence delivering the FoodCloud food parcels from the Cavan County Local Development hubs to those in need. This food has connected the community, giving people assurance that they are not alone in such uncertain times." This comes as Aldi announce the launch of their new gift cards. Customers will now be able to purchase gift cards online and in store, from a value of €10 to €100, to be used in Aldi stores. You can find out more information here.
