Food Parcel Challenge 2024

Could you live on basic provisions for 4 days?

We are asking Families, business leaders and bloggers to swap their usual tasty treats for a week of basic provisions to help raise funds for MK Food Bank in our MK Food Parcel Challenge.

As well as raising funds to help support our vital work, the challenge is designed to highlight the difficulties faced by the people our charity helps and show that living on a food parcel is not as simple as some people might believe.
