As lockdown restrictions are eased, the prospect of a brighter future is once again on the horizon. But for thousands of families this is just the start of a long road to recovery – the impact of the Covid-19 crisis may be felt for years to come.
For Elena*, FareShare food has become a lifeline. Elena and her family have been receiving food from FareShare since early 2020. The weekly deliveries stop the fridge going empty and help Elena teach her 8-year-old daughter about food.
Elena said: “it is really thought through, it is not just chucking food into boxes, it is taking care of it… any savings especially at the moment are very helpful.”
The demand for food has skyrocketed. In the past year, FareShare distributed food equivalent to 128.5 million meals for vulnerable children, families and individuals – four meals every second.**
Today, the need for food remains high. FareShare is doing all it can to get as much good-to-eat surplus food to vulnerable people. Can you help us make a world of difference?
