Thank you to all the Food4All team, this recognition is only possible because of you as well as every single supporter of Food4All’s mission
HIGHLY COMMENDED COVID HERO:
Anju Ahluwalia
Food4All is a charity that Anju co founded with her husband(Nim) 5 years ago to feed the homeless, low-income individuals and families. From day 1 Food4All grew from the concept of the hash tags PayItforward and FeedingtheForgotton.
Food4All was feeding individuals in East London, Essex and Lincoln Inn Fields in Holborn where individuals that are street homeless and low-income individuals would come to collect a meal. Every Weekend we were feeding around 700 individuals and families with a hot vegetarian meal, bottle of water, cake, fruit and snacks.
In March 2020 the whole world came face to face withCOVID-19 and the impact of this hit very quickly, Anju, her husband and the whole Food4All team made the decision to open the kitchen and cook food 4 times a week, and were making around 2500 meals a week, that were going out to more people that we have ever helped and was supporting Newham council, mutual aid groups, individuals, primary schools etc.
Anju went out and raised money, and to date has raised £70,000 around £25,000 in cash rest in provision, She knocked on doors and used social media to achieve this. During this time Anju was not well due to her on going illness of Fibromolgia and had days where she could not walk and was in hospital to get iv pain medication and her PTSD became worst
but continued regardless.
Congratulations Anju!
