feed london daily

£20 a month helps distribute the equivalent of 50 meals

The continued rising cost of food means many working London families simply cannot afford to eat. 

  • 1 in 4 working families regularly struggle to afford food for their children 
  • Over 182,000 families have less than £3 a day to spend on food 
  • 20% of working parents turned to a food bank for the first time this year 

The community organisations we work with all say the same thing: the cost-of-living crisis has not gone away and there continues to be a huge increase in demand for food support. 

That’s why we’ve launched our 2024 Empty Plate Emergency Appeal to tackle London’s hunger crisis.  

We want to raise enough to fill over 1 million empty plates this winter. Your regular gift will provide nutritious food to those who most need it.  

OUR IMPACT FOR LONDONERS

Last year, The Felix Project rescued and distributed enough surplus food for 32 million meals to 1,119 community organisations and over 170 schools across every London borough. 

Yet we know 89% of the organisations we support say they expect to see an increase in demand for food services this year, making our deliveries vital.

Now more than ever, we need your help.

Your monthly donation will help us plan and commit resources to meet the increasing demand for our free food supply in London. As little as £12 a month delivers a meal a day for someone in real need.

“ Life is getting very expensive. I can’t afford all the bills. Without this service, we’d be eating food from the rubbish bins. ”

Mona, 66, West London

“ We would see a lot more hungry children if food from Felix stopped ”

Tam, Haringey Play Association

“ Without the surplus food from the Felix Project, we would not be able to run our community pantry service, which provides heavily discounted weekly shops to help people save money on groceries. The need for this service is especially great during the current cost of living crisis ”

Ellie Ward , Peabody Pantry, Chingford

“ It’s extremely moving to see a line of people down the street waiting for your arrival. The food is quite extraordinary - stuff I hanker for when I go to the supermarket. Really exceptional fish and extraordinary cuts of meat. ”

Julia, Felix volunteer

“ There’s no reason for children to be starving or going hungry with the amount of surplus food that’s out there. ”

Michelle Dornelly , Children with Voices in Hackney


Where your donation goes

We run a huge logistics operation spanning four warehouses, one kitchen, one green scheme and 42 vans. Thousands of amazing volunteers work tirelessly 6 days a week to fight hunger and food waste, which keeps the running of Felix as efficient as possible. 78p in every £1 is spent directly on our mission to rescue and deliver surplus food for people in need, delivering over £4 in value for the organisations we work with.
