Help Northamptonshire Community Foundation tackle food poverty on our local doorstep by donating to our Family Food Aid Fund. The pandemic may be receding but the urgent need to tackle food poverty goes on.

That's why we have established the Family Food Aid Fund, to support community groups and charities that are helping families experiencing financial hardship. The funding will enable them to gain easy access to nutritious food and balanced meals as well as supporting the wellbeing of children and young people struggling with food insecurity.

As part of our global goals work, we are part of the local response to ensure we have zero hunger on our doorsteps by 2030. Everyone should have access to good food and no one should go to bed hungry.

Food poverty currently affects 8.4 million people in the UK who struggle to get enough to eat. This includes many households with people in work, families with children, as well as older and disabled people.

It can affect children who lack free school meals during the holidays; parents on low incomes going without food so that their children can eat; working people whose low wages leave them struggling to buy healthy food; or older people unable to prepare meals without support.

With your support, we can make a huge difference for those living in food poverty.

Thank you.
