World Food Day across the West Midlands

World Food Day across the West Midlands

As World Food Day soon approaches on Sunday 16th October 2022, we all know someone who loves some good grub! Whilst World Food Day is about sharing our love for our favourite foods, we thought we would be a little mindful of the cost of living, and instead, explore where you can find the best deals, if not some freebies. 

So why is World Food Day celebrated? World Food Day is celebrated annually on 16th October to promote global awareness and action for those who suffer from poverty and hunger. Learn more about it here.
