Building a future where no child in Mk need go to bed hungry. Ever.
23/02/2026
THANK YOU so much to everyone who took part in our Christmas Campaign 2025! We are so thrilled to announce we raised a total of £10,394!
This will have an incredible impact for those children in Milton Keynes who might be going to bed hungry otherwise. £10, 394 is the equivalent of 1,484 meal boxes OR nearly 300 crisis holiday bags!
That's awesome.
Thank you, thank you.

Everyone's got a book in them, right?? Well you can be a part of our book - how brilliant is that?!
We can't wait to compile all your recipes as a fantastic celebration of our local community. Lovely homely, comfort food & something that gets you excited is what we want to share.
The only requirement is that the recipe includes one tinned thing, as that's what all our meal boxes include! It could be - 🍅 tinned tomatoes, 🫛 tinned peas, 🍍 tinned pineapple, 🌭 tinned sausages, 🍄 tinned mushrooms.... The options are endless!
BONUS points for a fabulous reason why this recipe is a favourite of yours.

If you love this drop an emoji of your favourite tinned thing in the comments 👇
We have some really exciting news - WE'RE CREATING A RECIPE BOOK. And we want YOU to be a part of it.
Our dream is for this book to be a beautiful celebration of our community - our partners, our supporters, cheerleaders & anyone who simply loves a taco.
The recipes don't have to be fancy. They just need to be something you love & simply include at least one "tinned" ingredient - after all the most common denominator of our meal boxes is tinned things.
If you'd like to find out more comment RECIPE BOOK below 👇🏻 and we'll DM you the link.
If you already know the recipe you'd like to submit, even better. Submit it now, using the same link.
We're really excited, hopefully you are too!

THANK YOU IKEA for coming to pack with us today, you're support has been amazing. It was so lovely to meet so many lovely staff, who clearly care about our local community in MK. And we have more ideas for how we can work together, so watch this space.

We love this chat between Nikki & Jess!
And Nikki is absolutely right - there's no minimum to giving regularly. £7 a month would make a massive difference & feed a family a month. No matter how big or small, your regularly giving would have an impact.
We can't fix every problem, but with your help, we can sort dinner.

Thank you Milton Keynes Community Choir 💛
We were incredibly grateful to have Paul from St Mark's Meals come along to our rehearsal last week.
St Mark's Meals do amazing work to make sure that children in Milton Keynes don't have to go to bed hungry, and we were delighted to help them by donating £770.70 raised from our Christmas concert.
If you'd like to get involved in a friendly, inclusive, and fun choir that does real good for your local community, come along at 7.30pm on Tuesdays!

Across Milton Keynes, 1 in 3 children live in poverty...that’s more than 15,000 kids. Many of them have to walk to school in shoes which don’t fit or let in water, or skip meals when there is nothing in the cupboards. We don't think that child hunger is ever ok.
Starting life in 2015 as ‘Make Lunch MK’, we have worked with schools and children’s centres throughout the city to provide lunches throughout school holidays to children and their families who might struggle to eat during half term. Since then we have provided over 5000 lunches.
That’s a good start, but there are many more children who are hungry, and they are hungry more often than just on a couple of days in the holidays.
Our new mission, is, working directly with schools, to provide food to children any and every day.
