Ooooh dear, it appears we're suffering from The July Effect (again) – the undergraduates have gone home, and half of the city's residents are off on holiday somewhere.

We wish them well on their respective travels of course BUT we're _really_ struggling for volunteers! Today's shift is short of... wait for it... no less than 6 cleaners and 7 delivery riders.😬 😭

If you live in Cambridge... if you have a friend in Cambridge... would you consider dedicating a couple of hours to feeding your community today?

Thanks Jules she/her (npub13pt…fuyd) for the mention. I reckon we fit the bill for the Internet of Kindness. ☺️

We're an anarchist collective at heart, with a volunteer list of 2000+ local people who have, since 2020, offered their time to be part of what we do.

Every Thursday and every Sunday, we cook around 450 hot meals, and fulfill 130+ separate delivery orders (with around 25 of them having some kind of dietary requirement).

Everything runs for free. No-one pays for food, and no-one is paid for making it. There's no means test at all to "qualify" – we believe everyone has a right to fresh, nutritious food, and we deliver to literally anyone who asks.

We have no owners, no managers, no trustees, no governors. We operate from a squat in the centre of Cambridge. We have a 5-star hygiene rating in our kitchen. We're proud of the community that we're building, and invite anyone local to get involved in any capacity, including eating the food!

Car drivers of #CambridgeUK – could you spare a couple of hours tomorrow evening (Sun 11 Jan) to deliver hot food to hungry neighbours?

The weather forecast is pretty awful, as it was for our previous session on Thursday, and it's kinda dangerous to be out on a bike, even before adding a delivery backpack.

This afternoon, the kitchen crew of 11 people cooked 307 portions of hot vegan food, then 14 more volunteers pedalled and drove the meals to 132 addresses all over #CambridgeUK
