Charity from Marcus Rashford

Besides scoring important goals for his famous team Manchester United, 22 year-old Marcus Rashford has become a model example of charitable contributions, especially to help poor and hungry children. Together with the British charity FareShare, they have reached their financial target to supply three million meals to vulnerable people across the UK. He had initially set a goal of raising £100,000 and feeding 400,000 children after partnering with the food poverty and waste charity back in April. The England international football star has since vastly surpassed that target, however, with over £20 million raised. In May he was recognized by the High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Eamonn O’Neal, for "outstanding activity and contribution to the community". On his Twitter account, he wrote “And whilst I’m celebrating this, there is SO much more to do. Trust me when I say, I will keep fighting until no child in the UK has to worry about where their next meal is coming from.” When asked how he was able to do it, Marcus said he simply asked food companies with a surplus of product to donate it, and the call was answered. Rashford, who announced he grew up on free school meals, humbly stated “I am just trying to impact the next generation in a positive way.”
