Cook Out to Reach Out: UCKG’s Nationwide Initiative to Tackle Hunger and Social Isolation

On Saturday 29 March, UCKG will host Cook Out to Reach Out!, a community event where local restaurants and businesses will provide free meals and essential food bank items to those in need.

Cook Out to Reach Out

Taking place at UCKG HelpCentre, 12 Regent St, Leeds LS2 7QA, the event aims to feed thousands of people between 11am – 1pm as part of a nationwide initiative spanning up to 30 locations, from London to Newcastle. 

 

A recent study by UCKG, Faith and the Future: Faith-Based Organisations in Modern Britain, found that 34% of UK adults believe homelessness is the top issue faith organisations should address. 

 

In response, this initiative – now in its second year – partners with local restaurants to bolster support for food banks and soup kitchens, reinforcing UCKG’s commitment to tackling hunger and social isolation.
