Urgent Covid-19 Food Appeal Collection
Donation protected
Our local Food Banks are struggling with food stock! The need for supplies is greater than ever!
Coronavirus is spreading, so is the hunger.
Everyone is buying online now so whatever they used to collect from collection points now they can’t. Everyone is buying (bought) in bulk so now a lot of things are not in stock in the shops.
In honour of welcoming Ramadhan I thought to call Manchester Central Food Bank and ask if they needed anything. I went shopping and delivered the items to the foodbank today (Thursday 23rd April).
But, even with a budget of £200, I did not manage to buy even a quarter of the things that the Food Bank needed. I realised quickly I cannot do it alone. The volunteers are already spending their own money but that’s only 10% of the donations. The other 90% comes from public donations which at the moment is very low.
If you want to give out in charity because of the blessed month of Ramadhan then this is your chance too.
Make sure you donate and help us provide essential food for our local community in Manchester Foodbank.
£10 can buy 5 - 10 items
£20 can buy 10 to 20 items
£50 can buy 30 to 55 items
£100 can buy 55 to 85 items
Thank you for supporting me in helping our community.
Thank you on behalf of Manchester Central FoodBank and everyone that will benefit from the Food Bank.

UPDATE:
I did another food shop on Thursday (30th April). We bought items worth £450 and delivered to the Foodbank. We had a small car and so we could not spend all the money on this day.
We will be doing the Third Big Shop on Thursday (7th May) with the leftover but this time I have partnered with Bankeut and they will do the shop and delivery on my behalf for free.
I’ll also be doing live daily recipe demos on Instagram (sikiacooking) and/or Facebook (sikiacooking) from Sunday (3rd of May) to Saturday (9th May). Simple recipe ideas to try at home.
