GRANT AWARDED - Kendal People’s Cafe & Community Food Larder

The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Waste Into Wellbeing - Kendal People’s Cafe & Community Food Larder for a new washing machine to go into their new refurbished kitchen. Waste into Wellbeing has had a huge impact over the last few years and currently redistributes over 30 tonnes of otherwise to be wasted food a year.
​

​Their big project this year was to bring their kitchen and larder together in one building so that they could run their 'pay as you can' cafe alongside the food share scheme. After some extensive renovations they moved into their new premises at the Eddington, just off Highgate (on the site of the old United Reformed Church) in Kendal late this year.
Waste into wellbeing runs a vibrant and social, pay-as-you-can community café, where surplus food collected from local businesses is prepared and served by a team of volunteers. Each Saturday from 12:00 to 13:30 they serve a range of delicious cakes and treats, scrumptious meals, soups, light bites and hot and cold drinks.
Their Food Larder is part of Hubbub’s national Community Fridge Network. Volunteers collect, sort and store food so it can be offered to local residents. The larder is open to anyone on Thursdays and Saturdays from 12:00 to 13:30 and a £2 contribution per bag is suggested.
