Aldi introduces voucher scheme for volunteers
Aldi has introduced a voucher scheme to enable volunteers to buy food on behalf of vulnerable people and those who are self-isolating during the covid-19 crisis.
Available to buy on the retailer’s website in denominations of £5 or £10, the vouchers can be posted to any address in the UK for use by volunteers, friends or family members who are shopping on the buyer’s behalf. Aldi is not charging the buyer for postage.
Fritz Walleczek, managing director for corporate responsibility at Aldi, said: “This is an incredibly difficult time for certain people in our communities and, as has always been our mission, we want to ensure everyone has safe, easy and affordable access to quality food. I’m hopeful that our voucher scheme will make it a little bit easier for them to continue this vital work.”
