From April 2020- Nov 2020 we transformed our People’s kitchen feasts,INto A Covid19 Emergency Food Response, creating 1300 meals over 2 days a week, providing 200 weekly cooked food packages of 5-7 meals & bags of fresh fruit & snacks for our local hackney community, (mostly from surplus).

We made over 40,000 amazingly tasty culturally appropriate and varied meals, making sure to create dishes for a variety of taste buds.
