When we think of hunger, our minds often drift to faraway places. Yet, hunger is not just a distant issue; it is right here in our local community. Every day, families around us face the painful reality of not knowing where their next meal will come from.
📊 Did you know? According to recent studies, 1 in 5 households in the UK has experienced food insecurity in the past year. This means that parents are skipping meals so their children can eat, and individuals are forced to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table.
At Cornerstone Community Kitchen, we see the faces behind these statistics; single parents, elderly neighbors, struggling workers, and even children. Hunger does not discriminate. It quietly affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
Why This Matters
Hunger isn’t just about an empty stomach. It impacts physical health, mental well-being, and a person’s dignity. For children, it can affect focus in school, growth, and long-term opportunities. For adults, it can lead to stress, fatigue, and hopelessness.
How We’re Responding
Cornerstone Community Kitchen exists to stand in the gap. Through warm meals, food distribution, and a supportive environment, we are making sure no one is left behind. But the fight against hunger is bigger than us; it requires a united community effort.
