Calais Food Collective's Christmas Fundraiser

Calais Food Collective is raising money for ForRefugees

CFC · 17 November 2021

ForRefugees proudly supports refugees arriving in Europe, stepping in where governments and large aid agencies fail. Believing in one world together and one future for humanity we work with grassroots NGOs to save lives and support recovery by ensuring access to urgent aid and vital services.

Story

At Calais Food Collective we provide ingredients and cooking equipment to displaced people and refugees, addressing issues of food insecurity and enabling people to cook for themselves.  In 2021 we have distributed over 140,000 meals worth of ingredients and, as state provision has become scarcer and scarcer, over 500,000l of water. 

This Christmas fundraiser is focused on enabling a similar service to exist in 2022!

In October, Choose Love, who previously covered 60% of our budget,  announced they are withdrawing their longstanding support for humanitarian work in Northern France. This makes support from regular people like yourself more important than ever for CFC’s future and for the continued distribution of food and cooking equipment to refugees in Calais. We are now one of the most significant distributors of food within Calais, and our continuation is of vital importance to the food security of many.

Your money will be used to buy food and contribute to other costs essential to the continuation of our organisation.
