City Harvest is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge!
City Harvest is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, the UK’s biggest online matchfunding campaign.
Donate to City Harvest from 12 noon 29th November to 6th December to double your donation and the impact you can have on London’s children facing food poverty.
800,000 children face food poverty UK-wide, half of those reside in London where a staggering 1 in 4 can’t afford to eat. With the cost-of-living crisis forcing more families to choose between heating or eating this winter, this statistic is set to worsen. Behind the statistics are the very real children and their families who struggle just to survive, facing constant anxiety about where their next meal is coming from. Many already experience crisis every single day.
City Harvest London exists to help these people and strongly supports the Food Foundation’s ‘Feed the Future’ campaign, ensuring more children can access vital free school meals. The food charity rescues nutritious surplus food and delivers it to more than 375 charities across the capital, including soup kitchens, refuges, family centres and, increasingly, school food banks.
Hunger like this should not exist in 2022. Help City Harvest feed the future and nourish London’s children, enabling them to thrive, not merely survive.
How does this work? For 7 days, starting at 12 noon on Tuesday 29th November, the Big Give Christmas Challenge gives City Harvest supporters the opportunity to double their donation and impact. £10 becomes £20, which can provide 80 healthy meals to London children! Click here for more information!
