We support people who are hungry and lonely by serving tasty lunches and dinners every single day in towns and cities across the country. Many of our guests struggle to afford the basics to eat and many will eat alone without company or conversation.
Our growing number of incredible volunteers across the country serve over 1,400 people a week using surplus food (cooked in spare kitchen space).

Love food? Love having fun? Want to make a difference in your community? Sounds to us like you're a FoodCycler!
Anyone who steps through the door of a FoodCycle meal, first timer or seasoned regular, is made to feel comfortable and welcomed.
When food is served, volunteers and guests sit down to eat together. For many of our guests, this meal may be the one moment in a week they share a meal and conversation with other people.
