Aldi launches winter warmth charity appeal
Aldi is encouraging customers to support their local communities with a post-Christmas clear-out of warm clothing and unwanted gifts as part of its partnership with The Salvation Army and InPost Lockers.
Running until 6 January, the scheme allows the supermarket’s customers to donate warm coats, hats, scarves and gloves via The Salvation Army’s ‘Donate by Post’ service at InPost Lockers in Aldi stores across the UK.
Subscribe to TRBShoppers can also donate unwanted Christmas gifts in good condition, including toys, health and beauty products, homeware and more.
To donate, customers are asked to enter their details into the following portal: https://alditakeback.returns.international/ to generate a free postage label. Once printed and attached to a securely sealed package, donations can be dropped at their nearest InPost locker.
Luke Emery, national sustainability director at Aldi UK, said: “Whether it’s a warm coat you no longer need or an unwanted Christmas gift that could brighten someone else’s day, this appeal is a simple way for shoppers to support their local communities.
“With InPost Lockers, donating is quick and convenient and we’re proud to be working with The Salvation Army to help provide vital support through the colder months.”
Aldi announced a two-year partnership with The Salvation Army earlier this year to support the charity’s work in communities across the UK. The retailer has also expanded its partnership with InPost, with lockers now installed at more than 500 stores across England, Scotland and Wales.
