Ladywell Baptist Church Food Bank fundraiser
Donation protected
MTF dynamic duo Grant McDonald and John Young will be riding ‘Assault Air Bikes’ for 24hrs to raise much needed funds for Ladywell Community Fridge. This vital local resource has seen an overwhelming increase in demand since the onset of COVID-19. In April alone , the Community Fridge provided vital ‘food support ‘ to over 500 families across West Lothian.
These families are facing real ‘gut wrenching ‘ hardship and the Community Fridge has seen an unprecedented demand for the vital support they provide . This is a difficult time for everyone in society but some families are facing the daily challenge of accessing food and supplies for their children and the most vulnerable in our local community . It is no exaggeration to say they are quite literally relying on food banks like the Community Fridge to survive.
John and Grant are local boys who truly understand the area and the daily challenges and choices local families are facing and how these challenges have been further amplified by this pandemic.
Their personal and professional ethos is unselfishly about helping others , providing support and a ‘helping hand’ wherever they can. The thought of vulnerable families and young children going without access to food saddens and terrifies them . Through ‘More Than Fitness’ they’ve routinely provided support to the fridge. Over the last 3 months they’ve put on ‘food bank bootcamps’ , free online classes for companies in return for a food bank donations and much more . However , they both realise this current situation requires a much bigger effort and response .
So , these extraordinary times and the associated local need will result in an extraordinary effort from both !
This challenge is a further continuation of their efforts to strive to achieve an outcome where families across West Lothian and Edinburgh have access to the food they need. To ensure no family or individual has to face the nightmare scenario of not being able to feed themselves, their children , or vulnerable relatives . These families should not have to go without , no one should.
Please support the guys at ‘More Than Fitness’ and help raise much needed funds to support the Community Fridge at Ladywell Baptist Church. No family should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from , a small donation in support of the guys can help take that worry away . Thank you !
