4th November 2022
Lutonians raised funds for over 500 food parcels for those in need in the town.
The ‘Let’s Feed Luton Together’ campaign, led by Inspire FM and working with Discover Islam, saw local individuals and business come together to raise over £13,000 for long-standing charity partner Luton Foodbank.
Salma Khan, Project Manager at Luton Foodbank, said: “We are so grateful to the Luton community for their support.
“The cost-of-living crisis is set to drive even more people into financial difficulty. No one should have to worry about choosing between skipping meals and heating their homes. This support will help us ensure those in need do not go hungry.”
Inspire FM’s Station Operations Manager, Mohammed Tariq, said: “Luton has once again come together to support a very important cause. We are blessed to have a caring and generous community.”
Human Appeal were a key partner for the campaign and funded 50% of the fundraising target.
Several local businesses and organisations came together to fund 75 food parcels for families. They included: Quality Carpets and Furniture, iStruct Consultants, Esquire Estate Agents, Bartham Group, VEO Logistics, Aegis Training, M&K Solicitors, Autohaus, Nadeem Plaza, iCare, UKIM, Coversure, AA Carpets and Furniture and Tops Pizza.
