Fundraisers | Community Food Initiatives North East

Our fundraising community

Our vision is to create communities where everyone can reach their full potential in life. To achieve this, we provide a range of different support services to people facing hardship. We believe in offering a "hand-up" to the beneficiaries of our services, instead of a "hand-out". While addressing the immediate need - hunger, we also focus on helping people regain their financial independence, develop useful skills for employment, and increase their confidence.

With your help, we can maintain our services that are vital to many children, families, individuals and communities. Support one of our fundraisers to help us achieve our vision of communities with equal access to essentials and opportunities.
