TRENDY street food vendors have teamed up with food banks to deliver delicious meals to people in need.
The Kind Kitchen’ initiative from StrEAT Events has delivered 200 meals in its first two weeks.
Lambhill Stables is among the groups getting packages.
East Dunbartonshire Food Bank was the first charity to receive the freshly prepared meals from Glasgow based street food vendor Fujisan Food and said: “The meals were a great addition to our food bank parcels, all our clients yesterday were delighted to receive them. One client was so happy there was vegan option because her diet was Halal. We can’t thank The Kind Kitchen and Fujisan enough."
Ian Withers, owner of Fujisan Food added: “The best thing about The Kind Kitchen initiative is that it helps support the community in two key ways; the food supplied to the organisations allows them to offer healthy, convenient meals to supplement the services they already provide; for the caterers it provides much needed income. In these uncertain times most small businesses in our sector have had to shut and are unsure when they’ll be able to open again.”
