Tesco customers have been thanked for their "generous" support during the Winter Food Collection.
The collection, which took place between Monday 25 and Saturday, November 30, saw customers donate long-life food items at all of the retailer's large and Express stores across the UK, which saw 1.9 million meals donated.
In Worcestershire alone, the collection saw customers donate 18,290 meals to make a difference in their community.
Every item donated provides support for charities FareShare and the Trussell Trust in the run-up to Christmas.
Donations to Trussell helps food banks to provide emergency food parcels to people who cannot afford the essentials, while donations to FareShare support thousands of frontline charities in communities across the country.
This winter will see heightened levels of need for both charities' services, with the Christmas holidays being a particularly difficult time for families due to the increased costs that occur at the time of year.
With this in mind, Tesco provided an extra £500,000 of funding to FareShare and Trussell to meet the need.
Tesco CEO Ken Murphy said: "I just want to say a huge thank you to every single person who donated items at this year's Winter Food Collection.
"Their generosity is always so amazing and really helps to make a huge impact in communities across the UK supported by Trussell and FareShare."
Throughout the year, Tesco donates unsold food to FareShare as part of its Community Food Connection scheme.
That means so far this year, Tesco and its customers have given the equivalent of more than 39 million meals to both charities.
In addition to the donations of food, the pre-Christmas Winter Food Collection saw more than £340,000 donated to the charities by customers rounding up their bills at the till and donating through a link from Tesco's online groceries website.
With both charities continuing to need support, Tesco shoppers can continue to donate food at permanent collection points at every Tesco store in the UK or make a donation after their online shop.
