During our last community kitchen event, something remarkable happened. As we were distributing meals, we unexpectedly ran out of takeaway packs. Rushing to a nearby store to get more, we met Olamilekan a food vendor. Instead of accepting payment, Olamilekan chose to donate the packs to us. He was deeply moved by our efforts, something he had never seen in his community before, and wanted to be a part of it. Even if he was selling food , he didn’t feel uncomfortable about us giving out food around him. We salute Olamilekan’s generosity and his willingness to support his community. Now, imagine a world filled with more people like Olamilekan—where sharing and giving back are the norms, and everyone has enough to eat. This vision is within our reach, but it starts with each of us. Be like Olamilekan. Donate today, and together, we can make this a reality. #foodcliquesupport #sdg2030 #zerohunger #sdg2 #hungerheroes #endinghunger #foodsystem #charity #donation #socialimpact

If you've read our Impact Report, you'll know that last year we donated an incredible £20,000 for charity. A part of that comes from the four charities we choose to support each year. Here's how it works: whenever a new member joins us, we donate £5 on their behalf to one of the four charities we're supporting for that year. These are this year’s amazing charities: 🌟 Rainforest Action Network: Works to protect rainforests and the rights of their inhabitants through campaigns and grassroots organizing. 🌟 Beam: an award winning Tech for Good start-up and crowdfunding platform supporting homeless people and refugees into stable jobs and homes. 🌟 Doctors Without Borders: Provides medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare worldwide. 🌟 FoodCycle: Combats food waste and food poverty by serving meals made from surplus food to those in need. We’re super proud to support these organisations. If you want to find out more about our sustainability goals, click here 👉 https://bit.ly/3V6Qo89
