Report written by Zaeem
With 35 guests, the team have set a new record for attendance, making it the busiest session since launch. The hosting team kept everything running smoothly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Guests enjoyed spring onion pancakes served with coriander and coconut chutney to start, followed by a hearty ratatouille pasta, and finished on a sweet note with a delicious apple and plum crumble. Another fantastic effort from the whole team!
Operating every Thursday evening at the Togetherness Community Centre in Mitcham, the project welcomes guests from all walks of life to share a hot meal and engage in friendly conversation in a warm, inclusive environment. The meals are prepared by dedicated volunteers using surplus food collected from local supermarkets and grocers, ensuring that perfectly edible food is diverted from landfill and put to good use. Volunteers take on various roles, including cooking, hosting, and food collection, all contributing to the creation of a welcoming space where guests can enjoy both nourishment and companionship. By fostering connections among community members and promoting sustainability, FoodCycle Mitcham not only provides immediate support to those facing hardship but also works towards building a more resilient and connected local community.
