Cooking over 14,000 (July 2022) vegetarian meals in a month requires a significant amount of vegetables.
Once a week we place a vegetable order. This order is determined by our current stock levels and what kind of food we expect to cook that week.
In July alone we went through:
- 1900kg of onions
- 1200kg of potatoes
- 640kg of carrots
- 240kg tomatoes
Our vegetable order costs around ~£1.5k a week. We are only able to continue our work through the support of our community. Placing vegetables orders in advance requires us to be confident of our future income. This is why reoccurring monthly donations play such an important role in the stability and longevity of RCK.
Individual reoccurring donations of £5/month collectively have a massive impact and ensure that we are able to continue serving warm food to those that need it.
