Fair Food: We're on Fire

A slow burn between our ovens turned into a big problem today, and thanks to the quick observation of our volunteers and a helping hand from emergency fire services, no one was injured. Unfortunately, we now need a completely new set up for ovens and kitchen equipment. The estimates for the two ovens are over $20,000 which is a lot for a charity of our size. We'll also need help with the installation and removal.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and that's very true for us at Fair Food. Our kai tables are an incredible gathering place for people who might otherwise never cross paths. The friendships formed over kai burn stronger than any fire, and we're hoping our community will come to our rescue in this moment of need.

We cook more than 500 nutritious hot meals from scratch each week, and not having ovens will slow us down considerably at a time when our help is needed more than ever.

Poverty builds incredible resilience, so will continue to distribute fresh food every day while we replace the damaged kitchen equipment.

Come have a cup of soup or curry from the slow cooker and please donate if you're able.
