We are Food Volunteers, and our vision is to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community. With community dining, week in, week out we feed the hungry and give company to the lonely in our communities; providing delicious meals and great conversation, and using food which would otherwise go to waste.

Support mental health, wellbeing and reduce loneliness

Promote sustainability
Change attitudes to food and society’s impact on the environment by cooking with surplus ingredients.
Inspire change
