Tesco customers in Newton Abbot have the opportunity to give new toys to local children who need them most this Christmas.
Until the 15 December, Tesco’s Kingsteignton Superstore is holding a collection for new and unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army, whose volunteers will then distribute the toys to local children.
Bev Perrins, community champion at the Kingsteignton Superstore, said: “We take pride in supporting our community during the year.
“This year’s toy donation campaign is a fantastic way for customers to help local families and ensure children in our community have something to open on Christmas Day.
“We are so grateful to our customers who donate what they can to help bring a little festive joy to local families this Christmas.”
For the campaign, the Kingsteignton Superstore store has a dedicated toy donation point where customers can donate new, unwrapped toys purchased in store.
Claire De Silva, Head of Communities at Tesco, said: “Our stores are committed to supporting local children and their communities year-round, and thanks to the generosity of our customers and colleagues, the annual toy donation campaign is a wonderful way to make a difference at Christmas.
“It’s great to see the Kingsteignton Superstore partnering with the Salvation Army this year to ensure that every child experiences the magic of Christmas.”
Last Christmas Tesco customers donated a total of 125,000 toys, with the retailer looking to beat that number this year.
