Lidl is giving NHS workers free bags of fresh fruit and veg amid coronavirus crisis.
Healthcare workers across Great Britain will be awarded the freebies from the retailer in an effort to help provide frontline NHS staff with fresh produce.
The initiative comes through the retailer’s partnership with Royal Voluntary Service, which is committed to supporting those who need it most in hospitals and communities around the country.
The Lidl bags will be distributed to NHS staff at hospital sites UK-wide, getting fresh fruit and vegetables into the hands of frontline health workers.
Christian Härtnagel, CEO at Lidl GB, commented: “We are so grateful to the NHS and all of its staff for their hard work every day to help keep the nation safe. This is our small gesture to say thank you, and help provide NHS staff, who may not be able to get into store regularly for basic groceries, with fresh fruit and vegetables.
“We hope that through working with Royal Voluntary service to donate these bags to hospitals, we can help make a difference to their daily life.”
Really great deal. It's very useful. I haven't heard of this. I wonder if it's available in all stores.
This is such a good thing to be doing these frontline staff are amazing and need to keep their strength up with healthy food.
And so a wonderful act of common sense is born!
If our heath care personnel fail, we all fail.
A small act of kindness that should benefit the deserving.
Finally Something that really will help! That will save all the queuing to find not much left
That is amazing! Well done Lidl. Good publicity too! Maybe I should try to start using them
