Another great evening of service, and a huge well done to everyone involved. The team welcomed 22 guests in total and served a delicious, well-balanced meal that was clearly enjoyed.
The menu began with bean and Quorn tacos, served in handmade tortillas. This was followed by Quorn chicken with mash and slaw as the main course. Dessert featured poached pears with custard and chocolate sauce, and guests were also treated to a bonus strawberry and banana milkshake, which was very well received.
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.
