Who this task will support
Mercato Metropolitano
Mercato Metropolitano, centrally located in London's south east Elephant & Castle, is the city’s first sustainable community market focused on revitalizing neighbourhoods and protecting the environment. The market has incubated more than 48 food and beverage businesses, a delicatessen with sustainably sourced products from local farmers and artisans, a unique cinema experience, a communal kitchen and several circular economy concepts including a Bavarian micro-brewery, a hydroponics farm, a mushroom garden from spent coffee grounds and a vertical garden in a double decker bus to name a few. MM, launched in 2016, attracts up to 60,000 people a week to a part of the city that previously had little footfall. It aims to teach urban dwellers that they can support their local and rural communities while at the same time protecting the environment by focusing on what they eat and how they eat.

Following the Government’s decision not to support free school meals for children during the half-term break Mercato Metropolitano decided it was time to step in for our CoMMunity.

We need 1 volunteers for this session, 11.30-2.30pm to help hand out meals.

On Saturday October 30th they will be providing daily FREE meals for kids under the age of 18, at their site in Elephant & Castle.

We will be repeating this daily task until Sunday 8th November. So you can sign up as regularly as you can!

If you are not available to fill the whole session, please leave a message in the comments. Thanks team!
