“Dear Team. Please can I have a food parcel. I won’t get paid till next week and will have only enough to feed my daughter with nothing for myself.”

“I am an NHS worker and being a single parent I have been struggling to make ends meet in the last few months.”

These are examples of daily messages K Community Foundation receives.

Over the last 8 months K Community Foundation has provided 400 families with food parcels and impacted over 3000 people.

The realization for me came when I delivered a food parcel to support a local family, only to see my son’s school friend open the door. I had no idea they were struggling. We’re so busy with our own lives we don’t notice people struggling amongst us. That continues to be the driver for me.

Over the last few months K Community has continued to grow. From supporting a Tuesday soup kitchen to now delivering 50 cooked meals a week to families in poverty. We provide 35 pre school children a weekly lunch, deliver food packs, run a homeless soup kitchen and offer a food bank to support local hospital staff.

But, we want to do more. Provide hot meals, lunches and food packs more frequently. That is why I’m running a marathon. 1 year ago I hadn’t run more than 5k.
I wanto to ensure that K Community can continue to support more people living in poverty. All donations will be gratefully received.
