City Harvest Jubilee Van – Committed to Serving London’s Families Who Can’t Afford to Eat
Elizabeth Line launch: City Harvest Jubilee van by local Acton Main Line.
“City Harvest delivered here last week. People here are so humble and kind, they’d be too embarrassed to tell you, but when I tell you they had nothing to eat, I mean, they literally had NOTHING to eat at all. You probably genuinely saved lives that day, without even knowing it.” – Acton Asylum Charity
Acton based, emergency food charity, City Harvest, delivers free surplus food for over a million meals a month to 350+ charities and foodbanks feeding people facing food poverty. Our celebratory Jubilee Van celebrates our mission ‘Rescuing Food, People, & Planet’.
‘London’s need is greater than we have ever seen it, and it is increasing every day. We have rolled from COVID into the cost-of-living crisis and people just don’t have the money to buy nutritious food.’ City Harvest.
Designed In honour of the Queen’s commitment to serve London, our Platinum Jubilee van was sponsored by, The Vintners’ Company, a charitable London institution, committed to help City Harvest feed London in times of crisis.
