Summary
Prepare food for our weekly Monday Simple Supper, which is a free hot meal open to all. Many attend who are homeless, vulnerably housed, or in food poverty.Detailed description
Please note that Simple Supper is paused during August, so we are recruiting volunteers to start in the autumn.
Each Monday, we host a warm meal, listening to each others' stories as we share our food together. People attend from the local community, the congregation, and those who are homeless or those in food poverty. The meal is free, on a donate-what-you-can basis.
Cooks will start preparing the food around 4pm, ready for serving at 6pm. You will prepare a one-course vegetarian dish for 25-30 people.
New volunteers may prefer to take the assistant cook role, helping with chopping, serving, and washing up - the lead cook will take responsibility for choosing the menu, ordering the ingredients in advance, and directing the cooking.
Cooks are very welcome to stay and eat. The food is important, but what many volunteers find most meaningful about the evening is the chance to connect with people in their humanity and hear their stories.
