TEN years of RCK

On the 1st of December 2015, Refugee Community Kitchen served their first meal in Calais. 

10 years later, RCK's co-founders Paula and Steve reflect on the beginning of this incredible journey. With co-founders Janie and Sam, they went to Calais as doing nothing about this humanitarian crisis was no longer an option. 

With the help of L'Auberge des Migrants who gave them a space in their warehouse, they built a kitchen in Calais. In 2016, they opened a kitchen in London as well.

After a decade of hard work, 2.5 million meals served and 20,000 volunteers, they are still actively involved in all the steps and abide by their core values: making warm, delicious, nutritious food without judgment.
