It distributes emergency food parcels to people in need, whether in crisis, homelessness or displaced by situations out of their control. Yardi&#8217;s support has been instrumental in this mission, inspiring hope and making a tangible difference in the lives of many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis year, we have delivered over 23,122 food parcels, which shows that we have not had to turn anyone away from our services,\u201d said Poppy Cheetham, fundraising and communications coordinator for MK Food Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MK Food Bank plans to continue its emergency services and encourage more people to use its Top Up Shop service. This service delivers cheaper food items to those in need, providing a sustainable solution to food insecurity. Yardi funding supports MK Food Bank in accomplishing those goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe incredible support from Yardi has been instrumental in our food support services this year, with over 500+ food parcels going out weekly. This means we can buy the food needed when donations have been down,\u201d explained Cheetham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MK Food Bank has a lot of exciting plans and campaigns for 2025, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Logo Challenge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dominio Cereal line<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MK Can Quest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reverse Advent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food Parcel Challenge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg\" alt=\"MK Food Bank\" class=\"wp-image-39052\" style=\"width:375px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=400 400w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=500 500w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/12\/MK-FoodBank_2.jpg?w=1440 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>These programs help MK Food Bank deliver food parcel support to people in need in Milton Keynes throughout the year.
