The Food kitchen team sit down for a well earned meal at the end of their shiftRose the co-ordinator at the Doc Mobile ambulance whose team offers health care and checks as well as hospital referrals.The Food kitchen co-ordinator shoe. He is a volunteer and does 7 days a week for free. Amazing young Italian guy who has lots of problems to overcome to supply approx 270 meals each night to whoever queues for a ticket.Mobile Docs physio has lots of foot leg and knee problemsFood is for anyone who us destitute. Queue for a ticket you will get a mealThe Mobile Doc is run by volunteersInformation boards on homeless and migration issues
Most asylum families are in transit camps although I am told the food can be awful. E.g. rotten or old veg being used etc
The service users are a friendly lot. For most it’s their only meal of the day.Fate? ๐ The charities car broke down last night. They can’t afford to fix it so I emptied mine and it’s now the Food transport van until Sunday night but they have no idea where to find the money to fix their carโน
We had a heck of a job fitting 270 plus meals in my car ๐
Waiting patiently for assessment and or treatment
It was a tight squeeze in my car
One tray of hot food had to be carried on this volunteers lap in the front seat!
