Nearly seven million people are said to be going hungry in the UK, including two million children.
James from Chesterfield knows just what it’s like to be seriously worried about putting food on the table for his kids.
But thanks to FareShare supporters like you, James and his young family do not have to go without.
“The food is a real lifeline for me, as the sole carer to four young children – but it’s also about the community support they offer. The kids can throw up real challenges at times, and I know I’ll be listened to and helped with my problems – it’s like a big family, all pulling together.”
Single dad James, who uses Gussie’s Kitchen, which provides meals using FareShare food.
Gussie’s Kitchen is among the 10,500 charities receiving and distributing food made possible by our supporters.
76% of the charities that FareShare provide with food support children and families.
Sadly, the request for assistance has grown significantly with more vulnerable people at risk of going hungry.
