Empty Kitchens Full Hearts

About us

Everyone deserves to know where their next meal is coming from. In 2024 could you fundraise for Empty Kitchens Full Hearts and make this a reality for people in need across Edinburgh?

Maybe you're taking part in a race as part of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, or taking part in the Kiltwalk, or a cycling challenge - or you'd like to! If you've signed up for an event like this, you can then register below to create a fundraising page and start raising money for Empty Kitchens Full Hearts. 

If you're entering a race that isn't below, or you'd like to run a bake sale or something else, you can sign up create your own fundraising page below. These pages work in the same way as JustGiving or GoFundMe, and you can also 'create a team' if you are fundraising with other people!

Using Enthuse means that we're better able to support you with your fundraising. We can keep in touch with you to offer support, fundraising advice, and cheer you on! It also means you can join our leaderboard of the other wonderful people raising money for Empty Kitchens Full Hearts.

If you need any more information or having any questions, please get in touch with our Fundraising Manager, Emily on [email protected] or 07895 347 157.

Thank you so much for your support - we couldn't do it without you.

Here are some of the things people have done to raise money for us in the past:

  • Fundraising concerts
  • Sporting challenge events like the Kiltwalk, or 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon distances 
  • Bake sales
  • School fairs 

About Empty Kitchens Full Hearts

We turn surplus food into healthy meals for those who need them. Since April 2020, we've provided over 1.9 million meals free of charge, and without judgement. We currently support around 650 people every day.

By making our service available to all, without the need to prove need, we reach some of the most marginalised people across Edinburgh.

Our amazing community of volunteers are at the heart of the organisation and support the cooking, packing and delivery of meals across Edinburgh, as well as providing adminstrative support. 

It costs us around £3 to feed someone for a day, and every penny raised helps us to feed people in need across Edinburgh.
