We at Food4Futures want to give thanks for this week's incredible support from Kingswood College and COTT, who spent time at F4F packing Jars of Joy. Over 192 food jars were made up for distribution to people without food to take home to cook for their families.
All the ingredients were donated for this purpose, and for which we are very grateful.

We give a huge shoutout to the amazing teachers and boys of Graeme College! 🙏

They've done it again! A generous donation of 70 loaves of bread which greatly helps us at Food4Futures. We make sandwiches each week into 240 packs (of 3 sandwiches) and give them to those in need. This gift from Graeme College support means so much, as it frees up funds for other ways to support hungry people.

Thank you, Graeme College, for your kindness and continued support! 🙌

Hey everyone! 👋 New year, new vibes! 😊 It's been a while since we've posted an update, but we're kicking off 2026 with some amazing news!

We're thrilled to share an update from a young man, called "J" (to protect his privacy), who we helped last year with getting a new ID.
He came to us at a very difficult time in his life and he needing some help to get back on his feet.
We arranged for him to get an ID card which was impossible for him at that time...
Which made it possible for him to find a job and...
Which made it possible to get his driver's license...

What a huge improvement in his situation. All it needed was some encouragement at F4F and the price of an ID! He has taken up the challenge with his commitment and determination to improving himself.
He has now got his life back on track and we're feeling so proud!

J came to visit us recently to say thank you, and guess what? 🙌. With careful planning and saving he has since been able to buy a second hand car!

Thanks to all who support Food4Futures, making stories like J's possible. Let's keep making a difference in 2026!
