The past few weeks have changed quickly.
As COVID restrictions continue to roll out, we’ve heard from more people in our local area who are finding things harder than expected. Some have lost work, some are isolating, and others are just trying to keep going week to week.
When we started cooking meals a few weeks ago, we were making around 20 meals a week. At the time, it felt manageable and useful.
Since then, the number of people needing support has grown. This week, we’re preparing close to 200 meals, along with desserts and drinks where we can.
Most of the cooking is being done by volunteers at home. People are helping in whatever way they’re able, whether that’s cooking, packing, or dropping meals off.
We’re sharing updates on Instagram mainly so people know what’s happening and what’s needed. We don’t know what the next few months will look like, but for now, we’ll keep taking things week by week and do what we can.
