Who we are

Mutual Aid Food Willesden (MAFW) works to support all in need with food and essential aid during this COVID-19 crisis. It is a cross-community collaboration, entirely run by volunteers, providing food boxes to households throughout Brent.

We want to face the challenge of Covid-19 together as a community and take care of our people as best we can but we need your help to make this happen. Your gift of financial support, time, business partnership and food can make a real difference.

Danny from Ashford Place ran a marathon for us on the 25th May and you can still donate to sponsor him through this page. We need more like Danny, please!

Why our service is needed

By the end of May 2020 Brent had the second highest death rate nationally from COVID-19. Brent has some of the most deprived areas and is one of the most ethnically diverse boroughs in the UK. Some people are falling through the net of existing emergency support.

During Project Lockdown we provided food and essential aid locally 5 days a week until 28 August 2020 and provided aid for over 9,500 people.

What we plan to achieve
From September 2020 we are partnering with Sufra to provide food and essential aid locally once a week in addition to other local support projects.

This food and essential aid is intended to fill the gaps left by the enormity of this crisis. Any funds remaining after the crisis will be donated to the existing local food banks and homeless shelters.
