A TEAM OF volunteers in Droitwich have been named Community Champions as part of a national project by Aldi to celebrate unsung heroes across the UK.
The volunteer team were recognised after Aldi asked shoppers to nominate individuals going above and beyond to support those in need.
Alongside their Community Champion crowns, Aldi has awarded the charity with a £200 voucher for their supermarkets.
After being nominated by fellow Worcester locals, those working at Volunteers of Droitwich Community Pantry and Fridge were praised for their continued work turning food donations into vital parcels for those experiencing food poverty across the local area.
The group currently save over 6 tonnes of food a week, turning it into 226 food parcels and providing essential support to those in need.
A spokesperson for the volunteers said: “We’re thrilled to have been named one of Aldi’s Community Champions.
“The Community Pantry and Fridge provide such important support for those in need across the community, and the Aldi voucher will go towards making sure we can continue to provide food for those that need it.”
Liz Fox, National Sustainability Director at Aldi, said the supermarket’s team were so moved by the entries to the scheme.
She added: “From supporting those in need to standing up for what’s right, our Community Champions go above and beyond each day and this initiative allows us to thank them for the incredible impact they continue to make.”
