The Rules:
Buy as much food as you can for £3 and donate it to your local food bank! Upload a photo to social media using #notjust3quid, and tag your local food bank.
Why?
Many food banks are bracing for one of the toughest winters yet…
There are roughly 2,572 food banks in the uk, and this isn’t counting all the community pantries, fridges, and freezers.
The latest government statistics say 4.7 million people were living in food poverty in 2020-21. In 2021/22, 2.1 million people in the uk lived in households which had used a food bank in the previous 12 months.
Over 60 million people live in the uk. If as many people donate as possible, we can make a serious difference to UK hunger this winter.
