After a tricky year for all of us, the demand for emergency food was at a record high – but so was your generosity. Thanks to our community – you guys have donated a whopping 24 tonnes of food during our annual Reverse Advent Calendar<\/a> initiative<\/strong>. That’s 144,000 food items, equal to 57,217 meals for those who need it most. And double last years donations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generous donations from our fantastic Facebook Community<\/a>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was the third year of running our Reverse Advent Calendar<\/a> initiative, which was set up to encourage Mindful Chef customers to give back and donate food to those in need at Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept is simple, customers add one non-perishable food item into an empty Mindful Chef<\/a> box each day in December, then return them to us for free. In 2020, we teamed up with London\u2019s largest food distribution charity, The Felix Project<\/a>, to make sure your donations went to those who needed them the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the pandemic, we needed our community’s support, more than ever, to help The Felix Project reach the additional 2.5 million meals needed this winter in London alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you didn\u2019t take part, it\u2019s not too late to make a difference. We would love to encourage more people to donate to their local food bank where possible. Especially given that 7 in 10<\/a> households visiting food banks had never needed to before lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find your local food bank here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
