A great session all round with 29 guests in total, making for another lively evening together. The hosting team kept things running smoothly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming throughout. They began with pizza served alongside a fresh carrot, apple and cabbage slaw, followed by a flavour-packed kimchi fried rice topped with a soft-boiled egg and a spring onion and coriander sauce. To finish, guests enjoyed a banoffee Rice Krispie treat paired with banana custard, which proved a real crowd-pleaser. They even received a huge pumpkin as a donation. Another fantastic effort from the whole team!
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.
