CILT members are invited to view the work of Open Kitchens, a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to safeguard the vulnerable, by working with restaurants and their communities in order to produce and distribute nutritious meals to those who need them most.
Funded and powered by the community, every £1.85 Open Kitchens raise will produce a meal for someone who desperately needs it.
For millions of vulnerable people supermarkets, takeaways and even food delivery services carry a significant risk of viral transmission and as food banks and national retailers struggle to meet an ever-growing demand, their access to nutritious meals becomes more and more uncertain.
Anything but total isolation for the vulnerable is a risk to their lives, yet unless their needs are met in full, they may be unable to stay shielded for such a length of time.
Open Kitchens uses a live request and distribution model which allows trained and vetted 'Delivery Angels' to see and respond to those in need in real-time.
In order to further reduce the risk of transmission, meals will be delivered frozen and in high volumes - increasing the likelihood of being able to self-isolate for 3+ months if required by fulfilling the need for tasty and nutritious meals!
Just £1.85 is enough to provide a life-sustaining meal for someone in need. The more money donated, the more meals can be made. The money we receive will be split between the costs of re-opening the restaurant and the ingredients needed to make the meals.
