MK Can
16th October 2023
On World Food Day, Monday 16th October, Milton Keynes witnessed a very special event, MK Can was born!Â
MK Food Bank, along with over 300 businesses, community organisations, churches and faith groups, charities schools, came together on a cold October day in Campbell Park and showed the power of community, creating the Longest Line of Food Cans ever, and earning themselves an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS TM title to prove it!
The continuous line started at the World Food Day pillar in the MK Rose, the city’s open-air commemorative circle, and meandered through Campbell Park in the centre of the city, culminating in a giant ‘MK’ spelt out in cans. The final count totalled 102,447 cans, smashing the previous record by well over double, and measuring an impressive 7.64km.
On the day itself the success of the event was clear – thousands of smiling faces, a party atmosphere from end to end and our hashtag #mkcan going viral, in our biggest example of organic marketing ever.  And as well as an incredible community atmosphere, this event means we can continue to support thousands of families and individuals this winter.
