What I learned when I volunteered at a community meal with FoodCycle
Community dining charity FoodCycle offers free three-course vegetarian meals for guests every week. I found out what it was like to volunteer at a project
Love this article from BBC Good Food - read first hand what its like volunteering at a @foodcycle.bsky.social community meal π§‘ π₯
"For many of the guests," says Jan, "this may be the only meal they eat with someone else in the week."
