“We used your Community discount for a meal yesterday which worked brilliantly. Delicious meal … thank you.” - Susan

How It Works

There are a few criteria you’ll need to meet to be applicable for the Community Kitchen discount.

First of all, it must be one of the following types of event:

  • Building the community locally, like an over-60s lunch or a meal for those alone or facing food poverty.

  • Raising funds or awareness for a charitable cause, like a Macmillan Coffee Morning or The Big Lunch.

  • Brings people together with shared interests at no profit, like a book club, sports club or faith group.

  • Celebrates an occasion with their local community, like a street party.

  • Delivers non-commercial courses or training with charitable aims, like an Alpha course or an NA or AA meeting.

 

And these three things must apply:

  • At the event, you must be feeding at least 20 people.

  • You must be happy to share stories and pictures from your event.

  • You’ll have to collect the food from your local COOK shop.

 

To find out more, pop into your local COOK shop to discuss your event with the team. They will be happy to help you make it a success.
