Year-Round Food Programme in Birmingham – Fight Local Hunger with Ummati Relief Foundation

Help Feed Vulnerable Families in Birmingham – 365 Days a Year.

No one in Birmingham should go hungry. Yet, thousands of families across our city struggle daily to put food on the table. Ummati Relief Foundation’s Year-Round Food Programme in Birmingham provides emergency food parcels, hot meals, and long-term support to those facing food poverty—including low-income families, the homeless, refugees, and the elderly.

Your donations keep our food banks stocked, community kitchens running, and vulnerable neighbours nourished. Join us in tackling hunger right here in Birmingham.
