The Covid crisis is difficult for everyone, but what is particularly difficult is speaking out about struggling without breakfast clubs, school lunches and the extra strain on foodbanks. We want to help that. After spending time volunteering at the foodbank, JAGS CEO Tracey thought more needed to be done to take the pressure off food banks and families who are barely getting enough food to last a week. After speaking to parents and realising donations only stretch so far, she thought about how it was best to support families during the Covid crisis. “I find it hard to go outside or even to the shops to pick up groceries, food prices have gone up, even in the market” - Mum, Charmaine “I get fruit and veg vouchers but the food does not last long” Mum, Kim We are delivering FREE weekly, tasty, and nutritious meals! Parents are having to stretch limited ingredients out longer and make more meals because they are feeding all mouths, all the time. We promise to make meals every week during lockdown to provide free, nutritious meals to families that need some extra support.
