Support local social enterprise, Edinburgh Food Social on National Food Bank Day

Edinburgh, 6/9/24 — On National Food Bank Day, Edinburgh Food Social invites the community to join in their mission of empowering children through essential food education. As a dedicated social enterprise, Edinburgh Food Social plays a crucial role in teaching children vital cooking skills and ensuring that young people facing food poverty have access to healthy, nutritious local food.

The organisation’s community food projects provide invaluable opportunities for local youth to develop cooking skills, fostering healthy habits and strengthening communities in Craigmillar, Niddrie, and beyond. By supporting Edinburgh Food Social, you contribute to a brighter future where young people are equipped with the knowledge and resources to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.

There are two impactful ways to support this important cause:

1. Donate Now: Make a difference in the fight against youth food poverty in Edinburgh by donating at edinburghfoodsocial.org

2. Spread the Word: Help inspire and educate the next generation by sharing this message with your network.

To learn more about Edinburgh Food Social’s community food projects and to sign up for their newsletter, please visit edinburghfoodsocial.org

Together, we can build healthier communities and ensure that every child in Edinburgh has the opportunity to thrive.
