We're raising money for Ealing Foodbank at the Ealing Half Marathon because we all believe that no one in Ealing should have to go without food.

Ealing Foodbank is one of the largest and busiest foodbanks in London. At the moment we serve around 700 people a week, providing them with a warm welcome, food for 3 days and the possibility to access free and professional advice.

Everyday we hear stories of how the foodbank has provided hope, when the future looked dark. Just last week, a newly single mother of 4 children came to the foodbank in tears due to emotional and financial strain. We were able to sit with her and listen to her as she told her story. She needed help knowing her rights, help sorting her finances and advice about her housing situation. Although we weren't able to solve all of her problems on the spot, we directed her to ongoing professional support. She left the foodbank visibly lighter, despite the full trolley of food she was pulling.

Will you join our Half Marathon team as we race to beat hunger in Ealing? We're trying to raise enough money to purchase 10 days worth of food for our foodbank shelves. Every pound helps!
