Join MK Food Bank’s Winter Appeal: The MK Food Parcel Challenge

Could you live on basic provisions for four days?

This December, MK Food Bank is challenging families, business leaders and bloggers to step out of their comfort zones and take part in the MK Food Parcel Challenge, a unique initiative designed to raise funds and awareness for the charity’s vital work. By swapping festive indulgences for basic provisions for four consecutive days, participants will not only experience the reality faced by those relying on food parcels but will also make a meaningful contribution to supporting vulnerable individuals in our community.

MK Food Bank has been a lifeline for countless individuals and families across Milton Keynes for over 15 years. Its mission is simple but essential: to ensure that no one in the area goes hungry. By providing emergency food parcels and working closely with local partners, the Food Bank helps those facing financial hardship, unemployment or other challenges that make it difficult to put food on the table. With the colder months bringing additional pressures, the charity’s work becomes even more critical.

Last year alone, MK Food Bank distributed thousands of food parcels to those in need, offering not just sustenance but also a sense of hope and dignity. Through initiatives like the Food Parcel Challenge, the charity aims to raise awareness of food insecurity while generating much-needed funds to continue its work.

How to get involved:

• Choose any four consecutive days between 1st and 22nd December.
• Set up your JustGiving page to start fundraising.
• Gather your basic food supplies following the guidelines provided.

Throughout the challenge, participants are encouraged to share their experiences, meal plans and creative recipes on social media, helping to highlight the importance of community support and the realities of food insecurity. By shining a light on the issue, you’ll not only be helping to raise funds but also inspiring others to get involved or donate.

MK Food Bank hopes the challenge will unite the community during the festive season, reminding us all of the importance of compassion and solidarity with those less fortunate.

Sign up today and join this incredible initiative to support MK Food Bank’s work during the winter months.
