Our Food for London Now campaign has raised £4 million in just seven weeks. With more than 1,500 reader donations, and the support of London companies, we have reached heights few expected.
We have told the stories of the people who are suffering during this pandemic. The homeless, the unemployed, the isolated. And we have saluted the innovative people who have applied their skills to helping them in this crisis.
The capital has heard our call, but the hunger crisis has not peaked — just look at the grim economic news from this week.
We have committed to raising £10 million to ensure the food security of Londoners for three years.
This money will allow us to support The Felix Project’s vital work, and to open a new community kitchen to support the homeless across the city.
So well done, London. But the hard part comes now.
