Following an official attempt to form the longest line of cans, Milton Keynes Food Bank has achieved the Guinness World Record with over 102,400 cans.
MK Food Bank with the help of local organisations and the public, formed a line made of 102,447 food cans. The record to beat, set back in 2014, was 44,966 cans.
Approximately 100 businesses, 20 schools, 30 churches and faith groups, 50 community organisations and 25 charities are involved, with an additional 11,000 cans funded by the general public.
The event has provided more than half of the canned food that MK Food Bank needs for an entire year.
During the first half of 2023, demand increased by almost 40% on the same period as last year and the number of households receiving support doubled.
Every single day, the Food Bank needs a minimum of 4,500 food items, £530 and 55 volunteer hours just to keep open.
MILTON KEYNES DID IT Milton Keynes Food Bank has achieved the Guinness World Record for the longest line of food cans, with 102,447 cans in total! Huge well done to everyone who took part.
