Hello Junk Food followers - and a very belated Happy New Year!!! Many apologies for the silence but we got so crazy busy before Christmas its taken until now to find the time for an update. Things are going very very well in Junk Food Land - we are still intercepting ridiculous amounts of food destined for landfill and getting it into people instead of being binned.
We have been doing fool collections on a Monday for some time now and this has become a very worthwhile thing to be part of. We supply an event at Union Corner with veggies to make soup so that anyone can drop in three days a week for soup for donations - this has been very successful and feeds about 100 people each week. We also supply food to The Red Cross to be distributed to Refugees in the City, the third Monday drop is Mayflower Academy who have set up a pay as you feel shop every week for students and parents - both of these have also been very successful. The Friday Lunches at the Wesley Chapel in Liskeard are going brilliantly and we really love the venue and the community who attends - its a really buzzing positive event and we look forward to it every week and theres always new faces as well as the familiar ones - These are every friday apart from the 1st. We are also still doing our regular lunches, The Bread and Roses (Ebrington street Plymouth) on 1st Sunday of the Month, Barnardos Childrens centre in Efford on the 2nd Thursday. We started a new lunch last week in Upton Cross which was very popular and we are hoping to make it a regular monthly event. We've also got some new events coming up in the future so watch this space! As well as the community lunches we have been catering lots of private events for companies/families. This is a service we really like to provide and often get people asking if we can prepare meals when they have family staying and would like to relax without having to cook, we also do private parties buffet style - all for pay as you feel donations. This week we are all about the weekend - we are in Plymouth on Friday catering the breakfast for the launch of the 'Library of things' which is a really exciting new scheme - photos to follow - then on Sunday we are in the Bread and Roses serving the hungry hoards! Next Sunday ( 11th) we are at another new Venue in Calstock - will be lovely to see some new faces. Anyway here's a few pictures from interceptions - its still crazy - we never really get used to it
