Shoppers in Lichfield have been thanked for supporting an initiative to help prevent children going hungry.

Over the past three weeks Tesco has made a donation to FareShare for every piece of fruit and veg purchased in its stores.

The Buy One to Help a Child campaign has now seen more than three millions meals worth of food handed over to be distributed to charities and community groups.

FareShare CEO Lindsay Boswell CBE said:

> “During the summer months, many families can struggle without the safety net of free school meals.  
>  
> “At FareShare, we work with a network of around 10,500 charities and community groups supporting children and families across the UK.  
>  
> “With so many more people facing tough circumstances as a result of the pandemic, this food is needed more than ever.   
>  
> “Thank you to every single Tesco customer in Staffordshire that made a purchase during this campaign – through the simple act of buying your fruit and veg at Tesco, you’re helping FareShare to get fresh, healthy food to children across the UK.”  
>  
> Lindsay Boswell CBE, FareShare

Tesco CEO Jason Tarry said:

> “We wanted to find a really simple way to do our bit and help our customers do the same, and we are delighted at the success of the Buy One to Help a Child scheme.  
>  
> “By encouraging healthier choices for our customers while helping to feed children through our partnership with FareShare we can play our part in supporting stronger communities.”
