The sun is shining and spring is here but it was another hard winter for the communities we serve. We continue to offer a delicious three course meal to those who need support, company and a warm meal. Everyone is welcome and the meal is free for anyone who wants to share a table with people in thier neighbourhood. The meal is created through food surplus by dedicated volunteers who cook three times a week. The canteen meal provides an opportunity for young and old to meet and get to know each other. Lonliness is prevelant and even a few hours together can alleviate the worries.
Food is a great connector and guests from all walk of life, ages meet to share stories and support each other. Seniors meet young people from schools and volunteers from all walks of life wanting to gain some skills and give back.
Seniors worry about the cost of living and these meals offer them a chance for nutritious food and connection.
