Join Luton Foodbank’s unique campaign this Ramadan, a 24 hour day challenge to raise awareness and support for food insecurity and homelessness in our community.

About the Challenge

This Ramadan, we are taking part in a 24-hour challenge to better understand the struggles of those facing homelessness and food poverty. We will be fasting and sleeping rough to gain first-hand insight into their daily hardships.

The challenge begins on Friday, 7th March at 5pm, when we will prepare our Iftar outdoors using only the items from a single food parcel. After prayers, we will start a series of challenges, highlighting the difficulties many in our community experience.

Our Objectives

1. Raise awareness about food insecurity and homelessness.
2. Encourage community participation in charitable activities.
3. Support local initiatives by creating food
4. Fundraising Goal: Each participant aims to raise £500 to help provide food parcels.
