Tesco announces plans to double the reach of its Stronger Starts programme

Minister for Social Protection and Rural & Community Development, Heather Humphreys T.D., and Tesco Ireland CEO, Natasha Adams, were joined by twins Ben and Ava Wallace (age 7) from St Michael’s Primary School, Cootehill, Cavan as Tesco announces plans to double the reach of its Stronger Starts programme. 

Stronger Starts is an innovative community support programme from Tesco that helps to build thriving communities nationwide. By doubling the reach, Tesco aims to provide children in 240 DEIS primary schools who are most at risk of food insecurity with a food pack containing fresh apples, onions, potatoes, and carrots every week.
