Tilda close to milestone 200,000 meals donated to Mary’s Meals

Tilda Foodservice is nearing a milestone 200,000 meals donated to charity Mary’s Meals.

UK-based charity Mary’s Meals provides meals to impoverished school children across the world.

Since the partnership began in 2019, for every 5kg bag of wholegrain rice bought by chefs and caterers, Tilda donates 8p to cover the cost of feeding a child through Mary’s Meals.

In the wake of the Covid crisis, the charity has ensured the children who previously depended on Mary’s Meals at school now receive the same food at home due to Covid safety restrictions.

Tilda has also supported the charity through company fundraisers and programmes such as ‘Double the Love’, which saw Tilda double its pledge.

Annette Coggins, head of foodservice at Tilda UK, said: “We are ecstatic that despite the challenges of Covid-19, Mary’s Meals can continue the vital work it does for children who need it most all over the world. We are so proud to be supporters of the critical service it provides and we want to say a big thank to our foodservice colleagues and friends for getting behind this fantastic charity. Without your help this wouldn’t have been possible.”
