Just been there once, really am fascinated about the idea of reducing food waste and how all the guys there contributing to the community in spite of religious, ethnicity, ...etc. I volunteer there for 4 hour I guess though I wish I had more time there. Positive vibes are on the air. Keep the good deeds guys and keep spreading positivity.

We held the fundraiser for our play here and the staff were very helpful and the facilities mostly easy to use. Seeing all the inclusive posters on the walls made us feel safe and welcome. Also, it was an incredibly large space, which was great for our event. Also, I don't know if they were part of the staff, but the cats outside provided great entertainment .

Today i received free food from these people. To all those who have complained or moaned or even kicked off with the volunteers- you should be ashamed of yourselves. I was given beautifully cooked soups, breads and spanish tortilla as well as a selection of items for the cupboard. I'm incredibly grateful for this service and to all those who volunteer and donate. We are all suffering and struggling at the moment, a lot of you out there need to humble yourselves and just be grateful that you are getting anything at all.
