We bring affordable, delicious and nutritious meals to local events, serving up dishes like Vegetable Gyoza and Vegetable Broth made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. By doing this, we’re not only reducing food waste but also promoting sustainability! 🌍💚

A few pics from our field trip to .wf with some of our wonderful volunteers today.

We loved every minute - from the informative induction/show around with Johnny to meeting likeminded local folk, the calming space with amazing views and sharing delicious nutritious foraged and grown foods and herbal teas made by the brilliant volunteer team at the allotment.

We feel blessed to have found the space in our neighbourhood, recommend all to check it out, and look forward to working closer to support the great work already being done by this community interest company.

Help Us Recover and Rebuild After a Devastating Break-In

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We need your help! Our beloved community food truck, was broken into over the weekend, with crucial equipment stolen and damage to one of our fridges used for the Holy Trinity Leytonstone Food Share. This theft has disrupted our ability to serve the community, especially as winter approaches.

Please consider donating to our GoFundMe to help us replace the stolen items, repair the damages and install security measures to prevent this from happening again.

Every donation makes a difference!

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Community Members, We hope this message f… Ridley Chambers needs your support for Help our food share recover from burglary!
