Traf Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If you go in your local Tesco, you'll probably notice they're asking people to spare a few extra coins on their shop and buy a few extra items to dump into the big donation bins. They're for homeless shelters, food banks, elderly etc. The thing is most people are proper skint themselves at the minute, and as much as you'd like to help, you can't spare the few extra quid. But I know who can... Tesco. With their £450+ million PROFIT last tax year. So if you want to help, put some UHT milk, tinned meats/veg and bog rolls in a separate basket as you go round, and dump it in the donation box before you go to pay for your stuff. It's not stealing because it hasn't left the store. No one checks. You can feel like Robin Hood and you might just help someone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point, but just for a little balance, my local one in LL has three continuing charity options that you put those counters in after your shop. They then contribute according to the numbers. Dunno how much, but atm they are homeless charities iirc. Might just follow your suggestion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiwhite Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We did our bit today. the BBC put out an appeal for mourners for the funeral of a WW2 vet who died aged 95 with no surviving family. Quite a few went down to Agecroft Cemetery for his funeral this afternoon. I say a few....it was heaving.....great send off for the old boy.

stevieb Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Horwich Tesco also has a box for toy donations for Bolton lions (a club, not lofty and lofty junior) We dropped a few toys off this weekend that we had been given last Christmas that were either the wrong age for my lad or he already had.

If he's spent a little time there, he might have some interesting stories for you! You can't go taking liberties in Napoli! Please give him my best regards upon his (hopefully safe!) return.

MancWanderer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 If anyone objects to dropping stuff off at places like Tesco, give stuff to the Sally Army I'm doing the reverse Advent Calendar this year - 25 items given to the SA before Xmas day - only small bits like tinned stuff, packet stuff, etc but it all makes a difference Oh..........and if anyone does like to give stuff, the youngest daughter lectured me the other day that giving food is fine but there's a real shortage of women's sanitary products....for those really in need it's summat that people don't think about. Just a thought........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
