FoodCycle is a UK
charity that combines surplus food,
spare kitchen spaces and volunteers to create healthy, tasty three-course meals
for people at risk of food poverty and social isolation. In September 2008,
Canadian Kelvin Cheung founded FoodCycle. He decided to start the organisation
after hearing about the US on-campus student service program, Campus Kitchen, where
students use on-campus kitchen space and donated food from their cafeterias to
prepare nourishing meals for their communities. FoodCycle’s pilot hubs were at
the Imperial College London and the London School of Economics but are . In
October 2010, the first Community Café at Stroud Green, Haringey, London, called
Station House was opened. oodCycle’s mission is to combine volunteers, surplus
food and a spare kitchen spaces to create nutritious meals and positive social
change in the community. FoodCycle operates from London, England but has
operations throughout the United Kingdom
