The Drop in cafe runs 4 days per week and all the meals that are cooked and served all come from doanted food products we work with local supermarkets to and collect there food waste at the end of the day which is still fresh for us to use. We also get regular food donation to our food bank where we can supply an emergency food parcel to those who are most in need.
