Feeding Bellies Not Bins Since 2021
Since we started we’ve taken over 30,000kg of food destined for landfill and turned it into thousands of nutritious ready meals that are donated to foodbanks & larders in Dundee.
We couldn’t do this without the help of our amazing volunteers who turn up weekly to help cook and also our generous doners of food.

From Food Waste To Tasty Nutritious Meals
Our Community Kitchen transforms surplus food into nutritious meals for people across Dundee.
Each week, our team of staff and volunteers produces hundreds of meals using food that would otherwise go to waste. These meals are distributed through local partners, helping to support individuals and families while tackling food insecurity and environmental waste at the same time
