Tooting Community Kitchen handed out over 100 freshly cooked meals last weekend

For the past two years, Tooting Community Kitchen has been serving fresh food and refreshments to the most vulnerable twice a week.

On Saturday (20 March) the volunteers handed out 115 soups, 100 tuna pasta meals, and 80 desserts in just over half an hour.

All of this was prepared by the kitchen's resident chef Ollie Couillaud.

The visitors were also fed by hot food donations from Green Choy.

Fresh fruit and vegetable bags were given to guests too.

Eateries such as the Royal Mahal, Lahore Spices, Ital Vital Herbs, Ading's Kitchen, and The Rose & Crown also regularly donate.

Last December Tooting Community Kitchen unveiled their new food bank on 102 Upper Tooting Rd.

The food bank operates much like the weekly stalls, ran completely on a voluntary not-for-profit basis.

TCK aims to relieve poverty in South West London by serving the homeless and needy as a community and without judgment.

The volunteers will never second guess anyone in need.

Co-founder, Sahar Beg, previously told Nub News: "If someone got out of a flashy car and asked for a hot meal we would never turn them down."

"We never differentiate and we never ask.

"The guests feel special and looked after through our food," Sahar added.

"They know that it's being cooked especially for them. It gives many a sense of purpose."
