Story
We are excited to announce our partnership with Food For All, a local charity dedicated to providing healthy and nutritious meals to those in need in our community. Food For All takes fresh products that would have gone to waste and turns them into hot meals for those struggling with poverty and hunger. They use emission-free bike rickshaws to deliver the meals and rely on a team of volunteers to make it all happen.
About the Project
Food For All's Kitchen in Euston cooks and distributes healthy meals daily to a diverse group of beneficiaries, including local families, the elderly, the homeless, and cash-strapped students. They also support groups and other charities like The Women's Centre and refugee organizations. This initiative focuses on diverting good food from landfill and producing 8,000 free healthy vegan meals daily for students and disadvantaged people. With industrial-scale production and a dedicated team of volunteers, nutritious meals such as vegetarian curry, rice, bread, and fruit can be produced at just 50p per meal.
Weekly Budget Breakdown:
To sustain their operations, Food For All's weekly expenses include £250 for gas, £480 for electricity, £100 for water, £700 for fruit, £500 for vegetables, £220 for diesel for vans, £200 for food boxes, £600 for disposable bio plates, £100 for travel expenses for volunteers, £150 for waste/compost removal, and £300 for the van driver wage, totalling £3,600.
