Frozen potato specialist has been making regular donations since 2013
McCain has announced it has reached the milestone of the equivalent of three million meals donated to FareShare.
The supplier has worked with the food redistribution charity since 2013, and over that time McCain has provided FareShare with regular donations of surplus food, including frozen potato products and raw potatoes.
Jillian Moffatt, regional president at McCain Foods GB, said: “Through a partnership that has spanned more than a decade, we are incredibly proud to have donated over three million meals to FareShare.
“As a family-owned company, we are committed to supporting local communities across the UK and are honoured to work with FareShare, who help nearly 8,000 frontline charities and community groups.”
Nicole Sanchez-Castillo, head of food partnerships at FareShare, added: “We’re thrilled to have reached this incredible three million meal milestone with McCain. Their support has enabled us to ensure more of this good-to-eat food goes to the people who need it most instead of it going to waste.
“Without partners like McCain, we wouldn’t be able to support our brilliant network of over 8, 000 charities; from afterschool clubs and breakfast clubs, to homelessness shelters and older people’s lunch clubs.
“These wonderful charities then transform this surplus food into meals, supporting many communities across the UK. We’re incredibly grateful for McCain’s support, helping us harness the power of surplus food, strengthening communities and changing lives.”
