Why We Support the UN World Food Programme

At Cheese Riot, food is about joy, flavour, and connection. It’s about gathering people together, sharing stories, and that unbeatable “oh my god, try this cheese” moment.

But the reality is this: for millions of people around the world, food isn’t joyful. It’s an uncertain daily worry.

That’s why we support the UN World Food Programme (WFP) — the world’s largest humanitarian organisation fighting hunger and food insecurity.

WFP works in over 120 countries, delivering life-saving food and nutrition to families affected by conflict, climate change, natural disasters, and economic instability.

When crisis hits, WFP is often first on the ground. They provide emergency food supplies, cash assistance, and vital nutrition to communities whose food systems have collapsed. But their work doesn’t stop there. WFP also focuses on long-term solutions — helping farmers recover after drought, strengthening local food systems, supporting refugees, and ensuring children have access to the nutrition they need to grow and thrive.

Right now, the scale of global hunger is staggering. Hundreds of millions of people face food insecurity, and the World Food Programme is working to reach nearly 100 million people every year. The need has never been greater.

That’s why every Cheese Riot box we sell, every wedding we cater, and every business we supply gives back. A portion of the profits from every order goes directly to the UN World Food Programme, helping to turn good food into real-world impact. It’s our way of sharing the warmth, connection, and comfort food brings with people who need it most.

We believe food should never be a luxury.
It should be a human right.
And it should always bring people together.

By choosing Cheese Riot, you’re not just supporting independent cheesemakers and sustainable food — you’re helping fight hunger worldwide.

As part of our commitment to doing good properly, we’ll share regular updates on the funds raised for the UN World Food Programme with our Cheese Riot Community — turning great cheese into measurable impact.
