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.

Zaeem is a regular at this task but we hope to be making it a GoodGym Merton session from now on. Today we had a good size delivery of veg and fruits, our cooking team made pizza for starters, rice and veg curry for the main and apple crumble as pudding. We had 29 guests altogether and 9 volunteers who ensured the meal went well. The volunteers set tables, served food, did the dishes and cleaned up the hall at the end of the session. Our guests were very satisfied with their meal. Given the large delivery of fruit, we managed to give out bags of apples, mandarine and bananas for guests to take home.
