Catering groups make up a small but hugely important part of our Community Food Membership. Increasingly, we receive larger amounts of catering sized packs of food, so we are looking to sign up more catering groups to our books.
One excellent example of how catering sized packs of food can be put to great use is the after-school cookery club at St Paul's Catholic High School in Wythenshawe. Each week, students are invited to come along to the club to learn cookery skills in a non-academic fun and safe way. At the end of every session, the students are then given enough food to feed their family which they can take home for their dinner that night.
The food they use is sourced from FareShare Greater Manchester, meaning that good-to-eat surplus food doesn't go to waste and they're doing their bit for the environment at the same time.
