This spring is filled with religious celebrations and in Calais we do our best to support their observance however possible. Recently we’ve prepared celebratory chicken dishes for Nowruz, the Persian New Year, and are currently helping the Christian community observe lent by ensuring vegan dishes are always available. We’re preparing for Ramadan with take-away meals, dates and treats as well as planning for Eid feasts in May.
The communities in Calais are hugely varied, including Sudanese, South Sudanese, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Afghan, Pakistani, Kurdish, Iranian, Yemeni, Kuwaiti, Syrian, Egyptian, Iraqi and Chadian people attending our distributions on a daily basis, along with other nationalities too. Marking as many festivities and celebrations as we can is our way of showing respect and recognition for the cultures and beliefs of the people we serve - serving food with dignity, the RCK way.
