“Additionally, 2024 is a special year for ALDI as we mark 25 years of operating in Ireland. To mark that milestone moment, we expanded our Community Grants programme this year. On top of our €500 donations to all chosen charities and community organisations, 26 selected organisations received an additional €2,000 worth of ALDI gift cards, meaning in total we are supporting worthy causes to the amount of €137,500 worth of donations this year.”
