Our Food Programs
Short Term Goals
As a non-profit organisation helping those in desperate need, our immediate aim is delivering food where it is needed, and quickly. This is moment our volunteers turn into heroes. We get them to deliver the food as fast as we can to assess the immediate needs of the people who require our help. Once that assessment is made, we try, if possible, to buy some of the food as close as possible to the area in need to boost the local economy. It’s our favourable plan of action we prioritise those most vulnerable and our volunteers will ensure that the Food Parcels are distributed to those first.
Long Term Goals
In 2022/23, a staggering 7.2 million people in the UK (11%) were living in food-insecure households. This number has risen significantly from 2021/22, indicating a growing crisis. The most vulnerable groups include children, working-age adults, and pensioners, with particularly high rates of 17%, 11%, and 3% respectively.
The reliance on food banks has also increased dramatically, with 2.3 million people accessing these services in 2023. This highlights the widespread issue of food poverty in the UK, especially in areas with limited access to food bank resources.
Get Involved
World Food Relief aims to address this pressing need by providing essential food and water to those struggling to afford basic necessities. By offering items like rice, lentils, flour, bread, and other staples, we enable families to prepare nutritious meals at home. This support is particularly crucial for low-income individuals and families.
The recent surge in the cost of living, with 56% of adults reporting higher expenses in July and August 2023, has exacerbated food insecurity. Many people have been forced to cut back on essential spending, including food. World Food Relief is committed to providing charitable assistance to those who need it most.
