Description

We would like to provide a hot meal every week for the families we kow are struggling the most with food insecurity, we often hear stories of parents who wait until their childrenhave eaten to see what they leave so they can have the left overs as there is not enough food to go round the whole family.

 

Having family tea time for 4 months would allow us to provide 10 families with a hot meal and spend som equality time with their children at meal times. This would assist with not only healthy eating but social interaction and increase family dynamics. We would use the food we have on our sharing shelf to show what meals can be made on a budget so that families can join our sharing shelf and acess the food at a fraction of the cost they would pay in the supermarket. We would provide families with a small recipe book and help with budgeting.
