€1 = 1 MEAL Every donation counts 🧡
Brighten the life of someone in need by giving a meal.
Poverty has no colour, no origin, no religion.
Together, we can make a difference and save lives all over the world, one meal at a time. Give today and become a hero of generosity too.
Please note: if you choose a monthly donation, the amount you select will be taken each month. You can stop your contribution at any time.
In the media:
YOU FILL STOMACHS, AND YOU FILL HEARTS.
At the heart of our lives, stories cross, destinies intertwine and human dignity is put to the test. Imagine a world where every meal is a privilege and every mouthful a sigh of relief.✨
In regions hit by hunger, conflict and crisis, human dignity is often the first casualty. Empty stomachs cry out for a little bread, a little water, a little hope.
"In 2023, the UN estimated that 735 million people around the world were going hungry."
Yet dedicated organisations and guardian angels are rising up to ease hunger. LIFE & LifeChangers are joining forces to provide a full meal to a person in need for every euro donated. 🧡
Every donation is an act of compassion, a symbol of solidarity.
Imagine the grateful smile of a child receiving their first meal in days… The proud look of a father feeding his family with dignity…
Your donation is an act of faith in humanity. Every euro counts, even the smallest.

Food insecurity in France and around the world concerns us all. Many public figures feel the same and are getting more and more involved in our food aid campaign. They join our field teams to fight hunger, handing out meals to the people we support or sharing the campaign on social media and with the press.

Frequently asked questions
How are distributions organised?
Distributions take the form of family food parcels given to the families who need them most. One parcel feeds a family of 5 or more for a month. All smaller donations are pooled to make up complete parcels.
Who benefits from my donation?
Families living in hardship, elderly and isolated people, people with disabilities, children, refugees, widows and single-parent families.
How can I follow my donation?
You'll regularly receive photo updates by email showing your donations in action on the ground. We also share photos and videos every day on our social media: Facebook Instagram.
How do you get the food to each country?
To support the local economy and keep costs down, food is bought locally in bulk.
What's in the parcels?
Parcel contents vary by country. For example, in France: onions, potatoes, rice, semolina, tomato purée, flour, salt, oil, tuna, dates, sugar, brick pastry sheets, vermicelli, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, biscuits. In Palestine: meat, pasta, tomato purée, beans, tuna, rice, split lentils, lentils, flour, sugar, salt, oil, yeast, tea, white beans, packets of cheese, noodles, powdered milk. In Togo: rice, oil, sugar, tea, salt, pasta, maize.
Can I donate securely?
Rest assured, you can donate completely securely.
Our website is 100% secure, and we take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your data.
Your donation is collected through specialist platforms experienced in providing technical support to charities (GoCardless, PayPal and Stripe).
All bank details used to process payments are encrypted (SSL protocol). They are never stored on our IT systems.
To check that your payment details are protected when you donate, look for the padlock 🔒 in your browser's address bar.
Can I fund meals for the same person or for different people?
Here's how this campaign works: we put together family parcels for a family of around 5 people, each containing 150 meals and 150 breakfasts.
So we can't guarantee that your donation will feed 30 different people. However, we can assure you that a €30 donation really will provide 30 different meals!
Will I receive a tax receipt?
You'll receive an annual tax receipt early next year, allowing you to deduct 66% of your donation from your income tax, up to 20% of your taxable income. So a €100 donation actually costs you only €34.
