LCAG campaign for Luton Foodbank

As part of Luton Community Action Groups winter festival activities, we are raising funds for Luton Food Bank to enable them to provide food parcels for those in need in Luton through winter.

How they help:

They provide free, nutritionally balanced, and culturally appropriate food to people in hardship or distress who are referred by a network of partner agencies. They also provide signposting information to local advice and information services.

Who they help:

People in Luton who are suffering from food poverty.

Why they need your help:

Demand for their services skyrocketed in lockdown and are still in high demand due to the impact of COVID on people's financial situations. 

Due to significant reduction of income by London Luton Airport, dividends from the airport have been dramatically reduced putting local funding for charities such as Luton Food Bank at risk for the next financial year. 

There has been a rise in child poverty through the pandemic and the Government have withdrawn support to provide free meals to school children in need in the school holidays, adding to the demand for Luton Food Bank services by families. 

Please donate today to support Luton Food Bank this winter!
