GIFT teens feed London’s homeless

Barry Colman, high schools’ manager at GIFT, said of the initiative, which took place over the half-term holiday: “These sessions are always a highlight of the term for us. Our high schools’ team works tirelessly throughout the term, engaging students in discussions and activities around giving, and this is the moment where we see it all come to life.”

He added: “The enthusiasm and dedication of the students is inspiring, and it’s amazing to see them take what they have learnt and put it into action in such a powerful way.”

The Feeding London’s Homeless project was just one of several initiatives organised by GIFT over the half-term holiday.

In Manchester, GIFT ran a camp for primary school-aged children, and in Israel, GIFT partnered with Seed to run a bat mitzvah scavenger hunt.

Back in London, over 40 mothers, grandmothers and daughters came together for an intergenerational challah-baking session that celebrated family, tradition and the power of giving.

Additionally, GIFT’s regular family food packing sessions in Hendon, north-west London, saw volunteers packing and delivering food parcels to some of the most vulnerable people in the community.
