# Community kitchen

> Hot meals five evenings a week, served at the table, for anyone who walks through the door.

- Goal: $25,000
- Raised: $25,640 (100 %)
- Donors: 604
- Time left: Ongoing

The community kitchen opens its doors at six every weekday evening. There is no form to fill in and no queue outside. Guests sit at a table, and a volunteer brings them a hot plate.

## Why it matters

Food banks hand out tins. The kitchen hands out a warm meal and a conversation. Many of our guests live alone, and dinner is the only time in the day someone asks how they are. Others are working families whose pay runs out before the end of the month.

The kitchen also trains young people who left school early. They cook under a professional chef and leave with a food hygiene certificate.

The kitchen runs all year, so this cause has no end date. Local shops donate fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste, and your gift pays for the rest.

## How your gift helps
