Love this article from BBC Good Food - read first hand what its like volunteering at a @foodcycle.bsky.social community meal 🧡 🥗 "For many of the guests," says Jan, "this may be the only meal they eat with someone else in the week." 👀 www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/...

The impact of our community meals goes far beyond the food on the table. Every pound you give to FoodCycle this week is DOUBLED. If you can, please give today. Together, let’s stamp out hunger and loneliness this winter. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05... #ChristmasChallenge
