We’ve continued to do Friday Community Meals on a regular basis throughout the winter months of 2024 and 2025.
Eating together is a great way to connect people of all ages and backgrounds together and can do wonders for people’s mental health and wellbeing. Foodshare’s Community Meal Share, held at St Johns in the Fields, held regularly on Fridays is a great way to bring local people together.
We use food that we have gleaned from Supermarkets when we can, saving food from going to waste and lots of of the lovely vegetables come from the Cornwall Gleaners who collect direct from the field.
We also put on a big New Years Lunch for everyone to enjoy.
The meal features a freshly prepared main course and pudding, including vegan & GF options plus hot and cold drinks and is served between 5:30 PM to 6.15 PM. Cost is £3 or pay what you can and children eat for free. No booking required, all welcome.
This initiative is an integral part of the St Ives Community Foodshare Project and has been funded over the years by many of our different funders and partners.
We had the fantastic support of Tretho Lounge for quite a few of these community meals, where they’ve brought along large dishes of food for us and sometimes their chef comes along to help serve the food too. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. For those who wish to contribute to this heartening endeavour, opportunities to volunteer or donate are readily available.
