Story


At SOFEA this April we’re incredibly on-track to deliver ONE MILLION MEALS IN ONE MONTH, to communities across Oxfordshire, the Thames Valley and South Midlands. That's over 3000 food parcels per week, and the demand is growing all the time.

This is a massive effort by our marvellous community partners, volunteers and staff, which is why we appreciate your support so much; thank you!

Each box costs £3 to make, send, and cover staff time, so if you're able to donate £3, it will ensure we can continue to feed families and those who are most in need across Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes

These are extraordinary times, so we're asking you to capture the moment and:

  • Share 3 memories of your lockdown experience
  • Support with £3 to cover the cost of a food parcel for those most in need
  • Share with 3 friends

All money raised will fund food boxes which will be distributed through our Community Larder Programme, this is a non means tested programme however a large percentage of members are from low income families. 

We are aware that many families will be facing financial hardship, as hours will be reduced, many on zero hour contracts etc. As a result there may be many who will go without food. We are also aware that many Oxfordshire residents will need to self isolate, and the availability of food across the county will become increasingly strained.

With this in mind we are asking for any donations to help us keep this supply of food moving

Money will help us with:

  • Additional Van Hire
  • Fuel
  • Packaging
  • Cleaning Materials
  • Additional Staffing

Please give what you can.
