Woodgate Community Food for Fosse Ward

Woodgate Community Food is busier than ever, thanks to your support in the summer. We are now running out of the funds we raised and need more donations to help keep families fed during this second lockdown. Leicester has been hit hard by local lockdowns and so many people are struggling. If you are able to donate, please visit tinyurl.com/WCFdonor We'll be launching our new website and supporters newsletter soon, so please look out for that and join us. Thank you so much.

Thanks to your support, the food bank is able to expand and grow. We have increased our food supply including much more fresh fruit and veg. We are diverting more good quality supermarket excess to feed our families. We are moving to new premises where we can support more people. We are looking at expanding our services to support our families with other things like cooking equipment. We are sharing free food from local residents (garden and allotment excess) and creating recipe sheets for the apple glut! We couldn't have done any of this without you. Thank you!

This afternoon when we were at 82% we decided to go all out on getting enough pledges to hit our target tomorrow. But we did it today, 24 hours early! We are still keeping the crowdfunder open for the timebeing to collect any many pledges as we can, so we can support more people. Please still share and support us. Thank you so much, this means the world to our community. And it is much needed good news for Leicester !

We've really made progress today and have just hit 90% Thank you all. Fingers crossed we will reach our goal tomorrow !
