Happy Volunteers' Week 🌟

To every person who volunteers with us - a huge thank you!

Whether you've volunteered with us once or come along every week, you've been there for some of the most vulnerable people in our city, when they needed support most.

Every year, you help us to cook, pack and deliver more than 135,000 healthy meals.

You prove just how powerful and caring a community can be, every single day ♥️

Today is World Hunger Day 🥣

Going without food is an experience no person should have to face - yet so many people reach us when they've not eaten in days.

Did you know that the most deprived fifth of the UK population would need to spend 45% of their disposable income on food to afford the government's recommended healthy diet?

That rises to 70% for households with children.

Our goal is to make good food truly accessible for people across Edinburgh ❤️

Our wonderful Engagement Manager Leila is taking on this abseil challenge ❤️

If you visit EKFH, you'll see Leila hard at work with our Engagement volunteers, making more than 60 wellbeing calls every week!

Leila speaks to our service users regularly - checking in to see how they are doing, and what more we can do to support them. This could be linking a family to a local clothing bank, putting a person in touch with an benefits check service, or issuing a foodbank voucher for household essentials.

Now, Leila is taking on the Port of Leith Distillery Abseil Challenge - 131ft for EKFH 🌟
