If you've been wondering whether to come and pick up a takeaway this lunchtime, perhaps this vegan blueberry cake might help you make your mind up!

Come and join us from 12:30 at Arbury Road Baptist Church to get a piece plus some vegan shepherd's pie with roasted root veg.

We're incredibly proud of our project leader @VibhutiJPatel for all her efforts this month as part of the #FoodCycle50. There's still time to sponsor her efforts to help us continue to support our communities. #fundraising

[Dr Vibhuti Patel @VibhutiJPatel]

This is my tired, sweaty face after a morning run of 9ish miles to complete my @foodcycle April #fundraising challenge of running 50 miles! Please donate what you can to help us keep serving our communities: https://t.co/NF1vr3cRZm

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

@KidarWolf Our friends @FoodCambridge have a great scheme already in place to support this. If people #GrowARow it can be donated to the community food hubs and distributed to residents all across the city from there.

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

.@foodcycle we agree!

[foodcycle @foodcycle]

Our volunteers make sure #surplusfood gets to where it's needed most. They're the best.

Thank you @MarcusRashford for raising your voice on this. As part of the #CambridgeFoodPovertyAlliance we've seen the impact on our communities, and we would like to see a #UTurn so that our vulnerable residents continue to be supported @DanielZeichner @lucyfrazermp @ab4scambs

A big thanks to our friends at The Marque @coopuk, who last week donated 600kg of surplus food. We were able to distribute that as part of our delivery service to 40 houses across the city who were incredibly grateful to receive a bag to help them through the week.

[The Edge Café @theEDGEcafe]

A different kind of open, but still here for you

From Monday the community fridge will be open 12-2 to collect donated food. Pls bring your own bag and follow social distancing guidelines

Our work with @camcitco food hubs carries on too, distributing hot meals to those in need

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

We are delighted that Cambridge will be one of our first Projects to trial a new delivery service. If you are interested in receiving a Food Parcel, please complete our referral form, if we are able to deliver to you, we will call or text you to confirm.

[foodcycle @foodcycle]

We are pleased to announce that we will be trialling and new delivery service in a small number of locations and hope to roll this out across the country soon.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for helping us get to this point.

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

It's been a tough call to make but this is about keeping guests and volunteers as safe as possible. No regular #Arbury meal tonight, watch this space for updates and signposting #StayHomeSaveLives #community #Cambridge

📣ALL FOODCYCLE PROJECTS ON PAUSE
Today we have made the difficult decision to put all of our Projects on pause for the time being. We are working as hard as we can to look at other options and we hope to have an update soon.
💚 FoodCycle 💚

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

Please let @FoodCambridge know if you have any more surplus food that can be redistributed through the city

[Cambridge City Foodbank @foodbankcambs]

Current most needed items to make up our '3 days of nutritionally balanced emergency food boxes' Other foods are gratefully received also. Many thanks.

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

This is a great place to look to find out the latest with what's happening across the city for emergency food provision and what to do if you have surplus food to donate. Thanks to our friends at @FoodCambridge for pulling it together so quickly #community

[FoodCycle Cambridge @FoodCycleCamb]

No hot meal today, but come and grab a bag of goodies for you or a self-isolating neighbour!

Please *only* come out if it's safe for you & others.

We hope to have a cooked meal takeaway service next week.

If safe, come along to Wesley Methodist Church, 12pm Saturday to pick up a bag of bits and bobs for yourself or a neighbour.
