The Manchester United star, 26, revealed how Melanie works 14-hour shifts and relies on free food to support herself and her four siblings.
“Every time we lose, there’s always a community that picks us up,” Rashford said. Many people see it as a grocery bag.
Yesterday, a friend of Rashford’s helped food bank workers move boxes after Tory MPs refused his request to feed one person.4 million poor youth. The footballer visited the new FareShare warehouse, named after his mother Melanie. This warehouse allows the organization to distribute food three times.
Rashford, 26, said: “The real heroes of this country can be found in the heart of most towns, cities and villages, supporting our most vulnerable people across the UK.
“As FareShare and other food charities prepare for one of the harshest winters on record, and with the need greater than ever, it is important that we help where it is needed.
“When we fall, there’s always a community that helps us get back up.” There is a food bank here in town for a lot of people.
“Food banks are staffed by selfless volunteers who care for the most vulnerable: those in difficult situations due to illness, depression or unemployment.
“I think this is the best example of what we can achieve and the impact we can have when we work together.”
The Manchester United and England striker, who grew up in Wythenshawe, came from a family that depended on free school meals.He said he was devastated to hear his mother cry after working 14 hours a day to support him and his four siblings.
Although many of these volunteers have suffered unemployment due to the pandemic, they are working hard to help those less fortunate.
After the vote, Rashford said it “doesn’t matter” if children go to bed hungry.
“When they don’t have a voice, they have a voice,” she said, vowing to keep fighting.
FareShare reporter Karina Tiplady said the star was “humble” when she met him at the Greater Manchester warehouse yesterday.”It’s good that he did everything he could to prevent other children from going through what he and his family went through,” the woman said.
Karina, 42, started in July after seeing the plight of many families and disabled people waiting for a food bank near her home in Manchester.
