Thank you for checking out or Virtual Loving Refugee Food Bank campaign.
Since the beginning of lockdown, the number of families supported by our refugee food bank has more than doubled. With your support for the Virtual Loving Campaign, our Helping Hands Foodbank can continue to support vulnerable refugee and migrant families isolated at home over the long summer holidays.
Help us raise £3,500 this week and we will actually receive £7,000 through existing pledged funds and match funding by our supporter the Childhood Trust.
“I really appreciate it and thank you for taking care of me and my kids. How would I have survived without your help? Thank you once again. Stay safe.”
£5 funds a hygiene pack of shampoo, soap and toothpaste for a family
£15 funds a food bag of essential ingredients to feed a family breakfast and a meal a day for a week
£50 covers the cost of preparing and delivering an online art activity session for parents and children
