KBK will be donating 3,000 children’s meals to charity Fareshare for distribution to Manchester families over the next two weeks and over February half term. The first 500 meals will be dropped off this Saturday and will include dishes such as Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti and Chicken Tikka with Basmati Rice.
After a turbulent few weeks in parliament, with various U-turns from the Government around feeding children both in an out of school, it is more important than ever for us to look after each other and offer and support we can to families who are struggling during this time.
“We feel incredibly fortunate that we are in a position to contribute, in even a small way, to supporting Manchester’s families during what is a very difficult time. No child should go hungry and it is our job as a community to ensure this does not happen.” says James Anderson, Operations Director
KBK have been operating in Manchester for over 5 years now, having started out in one store in Ancoats, the business has grown with the city and the team can think of no better time than now to show its appreciation to the people of Manchester.
Fareshare, who have been operating for over 25 years, have been operating nationally – distributing food to families who need it most. Marcus Rashford has been working with the charity since 2020 and has so far raised enough money to enable Fareshare to distribute 12.3 million meals to families in need. Given what has taken place this year, Fareshare seemed the perfect organisation to get behind for KBK.
