📢 **Attention Parents and Guardians!** 🌞 As summer rolls in, many families might be feeling the pinch with the kids at home. If you're worried about ensuring your little ones get a hot meal every day without breaking the bank, we've got some fantastic news for you! Across the UK, numerous cafes are stepping up to support families by offering meals for kids either for free or for under £1. These generous offers can be a lifesaver, especially during the school holidays when school-provided meals are unavailable. This summer, let’s make sure no child goes hungry. **Why This Matters:** 1. **Affordable Dining**: Families can enjoy meals out without worrying about high costs. 2. **Nutritious Options**: Many of these cafes ensure that the meals are both delicious and nutritious. 3. **Community Support**: Supporting these cafes also helps local businesses thrive. By sharing this information, we can help ease the burden for many families during the holidays. Spread the word and let’s make this summer a little brighter for everyone. Bon Appétit! 🍽️💖 #KidsEatFree #NoChildGoesHungry #FeedingOurFuture #SchoolHolidays #AffordableDining #CommunitySupport

I need to ask you why ….. You and your organisation are still sticking to same brand of coffee and biscuits when you could be purchasing a brand that gives back My Coffee and cookie range “The Kindness Range”’which turns you into an everyday superhero, as every purchase goes towards feeding hungry kids in our local communities, is 2 very well known brands that have allowed me to put MY branding on their products A minimum of 10% (depending on size and order ) goes to registered family services and/or social services to distribute food vouchers to families in need. We have a portal that has a year supply of videos and shopping lists for the parents to choose from. The idea is that they will follow our recipes and shopping lists, use their food vouchers (dependent on family size) and the money they have left over goes to heating, school shoes - basically whatever the family needs. The rest of the money goes back into us to purchase more stock, bags etc - so the more it’s stocked - the more families in need can be fed and helped out of their journey of the poverty cycle The recipe videos and shopponhs lists where created by Queen Margaret University. Scottish Food and Drink Innovative and Development alongside Juniors They are already stocked in a good few cafe bars, retail supermarkets and offices around South Lanarkshire…. But we need to get the word out there so all children across Scotland can be fed So I ask you - why are you not swapping your regular brand of coffee and biscuits for my brand, or at least requested a sample? Why is this? Is it because you think it’s a budget brand because it gives back? Have you not had time as yet to get in touch with me as yet for at least a sample? I am really curious to know as to why would you and your organisation wouldn’t want to enjoy a warm delicious coffee, a tasty biscuit and not help to feed kids in poverty? #lanarkshire #scotland #glasgow

Your organization can make a meaningful difference today fighting hunger in our community. You may have seen The Ottawa Mission's food trucks in neighborhoods like Westboro, Carlington, and Little Italy, bringing vital support far beyond our downtown shelter. These trucks aren’t just about meals—they’re about hope. With grocery prices soaring by 22% and rent increasing 20% since 2020, many people in our city are being forced to make the impossible choice between shelter and food. The Ottawa Mission’s food truck program is helping to ease that burden, serving thousands of meals weekly in 38 underserved communities across Ottawa. One grateful food truck client shared, “The price of everything is going up. I’m 70 and retired...I need these meals to get by.” Your support today can directly impact the neighborhoods where your employees and clients live, work, and thrive. By partnering with The Ottawa Mission, you’re not just providing meals—you’re investing in the well-being of our community. Learn more about how your organization can get involved. Together, we can nourish our city. #CorporateResponsibility #OttawaCommunity #SupportLocal #TheOttawaMission #MoreThanAShelter

We have a story in the latest issue of Neighbourhood Media detailing all the work we do via Addison Road Food Pantry Camperdown, our low-cost grocery store which makes use of rescued, donated and purchased food to support the local community and its needs. The story (link below) shows how we help feed people from Mission Australia's Common Ground housing project and the nearby Johanna O’Dea Court, a multi-storey NSW Family and Community Services apartment block. It also explains how we serve people living on a tight budget in Camperdown and Glebe, as well as people who come to the pantry from right across the City of Sydney LGA. Most of all, the story is a celebration of our monthly Addi Road 'Let's Get Cooking' sessions (AKA "the Cook-Up"), which offers 260 free hot meals for Mission Australia and Joanna O'Dea residents, as well as those shopping at our Addi Road Food Pantry Camperdown. These sessions involve a monthly cooking demo inside the Common Ground building. Food literacy is the ultimate goal behind Addi Road's Let's Get Cooking program. As well as simply providing a free hot meal (and dessert) each month, we look at helping people to shop AND cook with often very limited funds. Each month there are easy recipes on offer (and ready to be tasted) along extra tips for stocking people's kitchen cupboards; a list of essentials to facilitate simple, inexpensive and nutritious recipes that will match whatever Addi Road Food Pantry might have in stock. It's about building an integrated food ecology for people battling. With a few extra special ingredients over a shared meal as the community comes together: camaraderie and connection. + #Addiroad #cityofsydney #foodrelief #foodjustice #housing #inequality #Camperdown #Glebe #MissionAustralia #homeless #battling #costofliving #poverty #resilience #mentalhealth #wellbeing #nutrition #diet #charity #community #freemeals #cookingworkshop #volunteers #caring #education #connection #letsgetcooking #neighbourhoodmedia https://lnkd.in/gs7vVEvM

Great initiative as always.

One of the most common areas that we get asked about is what is the best food to serve at a Children's Party. In the latest Memorable Parties blog we give some great tips on what to consider.

Giving gifts is great! Receiving gifts…can be a bit hit and miss.  A dog bowl without a dog, singing North Melbourne coffee mugs and charcoal filtered drink-bottles are just a few examples of gifts the team MIGHT have popped into the 're-gift' pile for next year.  What gift did you wish for this year? #Team #Culture #WorkAtTexco #Holidayseason #Gifting #Bestgift #Worstgift
