Report written by Zaeem
Great work from the whole team this week, with a special mention to the newcomers, who got stuck in straight away and made a fantastic contribution. Despite a disappointing surplus donation, the team pulled together and delivered a warm, welcoming service for 21 guests. Their teamwork and positivity ensured that everyone was well looked after.
The menu was a real treat: Onion Bhajis Tomato & Garlic Pasta Vegan Chocolate & Banana Bread with Peanut Butter & Rosemary Flowers
As an added bonus, guests were also served fresh squeezed Clementine Juice. A brilliant example of creativity and dedication, even when resources are tighter than hoped.
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.
