This weekend Sainsbury's are suggesting customers buy an extra food item and then donate it after checkout into one of their "Million Meal Appeal" collecting boxes. This is to give meals to disadvantaged people in the UK through the charity FareShare.
Of course churches have been doing this for decades! It's called Harvest Festival and most churches encourage people to bring tins and packets of food which are donated to a local charity who helps the homeless or other vulnearble people in our society.
So, well done Mr Sainsbury in catching up to what Christians have been doing for ages.
Hang on minute! This is all good profit for Sainsbury's! I have an idea. Buy a tin of something at another supermarket (preferably one of their own brand items) and whip into Sainsbury's and put it in their collecting box. They can't complain as it's going to a good cause, can they?
