Volunteer shopping card
This week, Asda launched a dedicated volunteer shopping card to help vulnerable customers and those who are self-isolating and unable to go into store. Customers can buy these shopping cards online, top up and give to their family member, friend or NHS volunteer to pay for their shopping without the need to use cash or bankcards, essential for reducing risk to our self-isolating customers.
These shopping cards can be bought at www.asda.com/volunteercard
If you have to stay at home
The Volunteer Shopping Card is great because it’s easy to:
- buy online
- send to your volunteer or print and leave for them in a safe place
- stay secure—no bank or credit card details are exchanged
- be safer as you’re not handing over cash
- Can be topped with extra funds online
If you’re volunteering
The Volunteer Shopping Card is ideal because:
- you’re not exchanging cash
- you’re still able to help, whilst minimising risk for you both
- you don’t need to know the person’s bank or credit card details
- you can use the contactless card in-store using a barcode
