Hot Meals Project
“He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while the neighbour to his side goes hungry.”
(Hadith)
The aim and mission of this project is to provide cooked hot meals to families and individuals who struggle to afford or prepare food for themselves and help combat the rise in food poverty around the UK. Our twofold initiative allows us to reach a wider range of beneficiaries and maximise our support for the community:
1) Our hot meal delivery service in Bradford and Birmingham provides cooked meals directly to the homes of those who are financially or physically unable to provide for themselves. This scheme is beneficial to those members of our community who would find it difficult to cook or travel due to age, illness, and or childcare commitments.
2) Our soup kitchen based in Keighley for those who are unable to receive meals at a fixed address due to homelessness, drug/substance misuse and/or other difficulties. We distribute hot food on a weekly basis as well as clothing and other essentials needed by those who visit the centre.
In the last year we have provided over 70,000 meals to those in need, fuelled through the help and support of our generous donors. We rely heavily on donations from our local community and businesses and would not be able to produce the current number of meals without your donations and support.
Support our project:
We appeal to you as individuals and businesses to support this much needed project, through cash donations or uncooked food items which include but are not limited to, rice, cooking oil, pasta and pasta sauce, fish cakes, cod fillets and salt etc.
