[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2330834, member: 345386"] Ooooer. I'm on a posting hat trick roll....... Go me! I know we are a generous lot on this thread, and each do what we can to help our communities, friends and neighbours. Yesterday in Lidl, I noticed a new leaflet stand. Being the nosey sort, I had to go and have a read. It transpires Lidl had launched a new initiative to help local foodbanks and those in need of food. They have always had a foodbank cage for customers to make their donations, but this is a bit different. In brief, the cards are each for a food item - from memory, UHT milk, rice, a cereal, I think, canned tomatoes, pasta (I think) and a canned tuna. If you take a card of your choice through the checkout it will be scanned and the cost of the item added to your shopping. In the background your purchase is collated with others, and LIDL match whatever you buy and send it out. Rather a nice way of doubling each donation. Personally, I never, ever put anything into a foodbank cage/basket that I wouldn't eat myself, so for me it was tuna and milk. OK, the milk was semi-skilled, but Lidl don't stock a full fat variant. I just wanted to make folks aware of what they're doing. (This is in addition to their long term charitable bond with the NSPCC.) [/QUOTE]
