Tonight we had more hot meals than we usually do, thanks to the incredible generosity of our restaurant partners.
A huge thank you to Darba Restaurant, who already provide our weekly meals at a reduced rate of €3.50 per meal. Every fourth week they donate those meals free of charge, and they have now gone even further by committing to donate an extra 50 hot meals every week, completely free. Their kindness is truly amazing.
Even with all these extra meals, the queues were much longer than expected. We had hoped to give two or three meals per person, but we could only give one. Sadly, one person was left without a hot meal, but in a beautiful act of kindness, another person gave them their own.
It was another very hot evening, and many people were asking for tents and sleeping bags. One young man, clearly sleeping rough, came to us with a bad toothache. As we can't provide medication, he simply asked for salt and hot water to help ease the pain. Stories like these are heartbreaking.
Thanks to your support, we distributed 430 meals, along with fresh vegetables, fruit, yogurts, sandwiches, cereals, and plenty of groceries for families. Everyone left our table with bags full of food, including a hot meal.
A huge thank you also to SACFO Fine Foods, who have been donating 50 falafel burgers every week since 2020, completely free of charge. Their continued generosity means so much to us.
We also want to give a big shout-out to Al Khair Restaurant, who prepare 100 hot meals every week for us at the reduced price of just €3 per meal. Their continued support makes a huge difference.
The support we receive from our restaurant partners is incredible. Meals that would normally cost around €25 are being provided to us for just €3 or €3.50, and in many cases completely free. Combined with your weekly donations, this makes everything we do possible.
Finally, we'd like to thank every single one of you who supports us. The people we meet every Friday night are always so grateful, and that gratitude belongs to you too. We couldn't do any of this without your kindness and generosity.
Have a lovely weekend. Please support us at: https://t.co/cCYEpNiaFw
“the idea has an obvious attraction. Rather than covering productive farmland – 17,000 acres of solar farms are planned in Norfolk alone – solar carports make use of land that is already covered by asphalt.”
Why is govt rejecting it?
@ess_emm_aitch After charging around for the best part of a week, I haven’t got off my back today except for ablutions and making breakfast, teas and coffee.
@murchadhfinn@IrelandsFuture Surely people want to see what plans are being proposed that will impact their daily life before a border poll. Come up with some great ideas and solutions that people can get behind. That’ll help.
@PlanningNI_info@Belfast_Rubble Before the development of more office space, could an organisation compose a comprehensive list of all the available office space in Belfast that is unoccupied?
