Miles for Meals
Campaign by FareShare Midlands (RCN 1146847)
This September, help people living in food poverty in the midlands by supporting the FareShare Midlands 'Miles for Meals' team. We need your support to distribute an additional 5000 meals supporting the Midlands' most vulnerable people.

Story

Having volunteered for FareShare over the past year I have seen the positive effects of sending food to help those vulnerable in the area, through food poverty. The need for this has grown substantially through the current pandemic with more families facing financial challenges.  Currently 1 in 8 people in the UK struggle to afford to eat. I'm supporting FareShare Midlands respond to the Coronavirus Crisis and increase their work to distribute meals to vulnerable people across the midlands. I've signed up to the Miles for Meals challenge to raise money for FareShare Midlands. I am hoping to walk from Watermead Park in Leicester to Norton Junction of the Grand Union Canal over the next 2 weekends, hopefully accompanied by Toby the dog. If anyone wants to join me for any part of this adventure then please get in touch but most importantly please sponsor me, to help feed as many families as possible, across the area.
