🍴 Exciting News from FoodCycle! 🍴 We've launched our brand new School Community Meals Projects to support students and their families facing food insecurity. Every week, a team of volunteers create a nutritious two-course after-school meal using surplus food. Children and their families are invited to join and enjoy the meal together, strengthening community bonds. Any child attending the selected school can come, along with as many family members as they would like. No referrals or vouchers needed. Learn more about our newest initiative at the link below. https://lnkd.in/dbM8J-T7

🚴♂️ Good luck to the amazing Just Eat Takeaway.com cyclists on their big challenge tomorrow! We’re incredibly proud to see them smash their fundraising target, already raising over £10,000 for FoodCycle. These vital funds will go a long way in providing community meals for those in need, making a real difference in people's lives. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported and donated. Your generosity is fueling our mission to fight hunger and loneliness. Let’s cheer them on as they ride from London to Bristol, and if you haven’t yet, please consider donating to support their incredible effort. Every bit helps! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dbJnpVx9

The need to celebrate unity and reject division is as relevant now as it was when the first Great Get Together took place in 2017. This weekend, hundreds of communities nationwide will be coming together to reject division and celebrate everything that unites us. We'd love for you to join them. As part of this incredible movement, FoodCycle invites you to join us for a free, community meal made from surplus food. Our mission has always been to nourish communities with great food and great company, and we believe in the power of sharing a meal to bring people together. To find your local meal or participate in other events, head to the Great Get Together website and click on their map feature. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gTxgs5XZ See you there 🌽🥦 #GreatGetTogether

We are thrilled to celebrate our volunteers with events throughout the month. It's our chance to properly thank the amazing teams who generously give their time to serve the community. Without our volunteers, our community meals wouldn't be possible. We want each one of them to know how grateful we are. Have you attended a volunteer event yet, or will we be seeing you at one soon? 🙂
