Did you know that it costs £3 to make, send, and cover staff time for every a single box we send out!!
For every £3 you can donate, it will ensure we can continue to FEED families and those who are most in need across Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes
In light of the current crisis in relation to the Covid 19 ( Coronavirus) and at a time when the most vulnerable members in the Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes Community require extra support, we are planning to distribute 100s of tonnes of food through local communities.
Food boxes will be distributed through our Community Larder Programme, this is a non means tested programme however a large percentage of members are from low income families.
We are aware that many families will be facing financial hardship, as hours will be reduced, many on zero hour contracts etc. As a result there may be many who will go without food. We are also aware that many Oxfordshire residents will need to self isolate, and the availability of food across the county will become increasingly strained.
With this in mind we are asking for any donations to help us keep this supply of food moving
Money will help us with:
Additional Van Hire
Fuel
Packaging
Cleaning Materials
Additional Staffing
Please give what you can.
