Today's Food

Ellen introducing today's meal and thanking the wonderful Aid Convoy Team!

Wishing a joyous Eid al-Adha to everyone celebrating.

Can you help us RESTOCK our SPICE STORES?

Anyone who's been in the RCK kitchen or tasted our food knows that spices make our world go round. Our recipes call for everything from scotch bonnets and cardamom, to sumac and za'atar, so that our curries are flavourful and culturally familiar.

DONATE to help us refill the stores with lots of spices! -->

UPDATE from co-founder Steve Bedlam

We are now back to cooking 2000 meals a day!

All the amazing groups on the ground are working together in our kitchen to help our team get this MASSIVE amount of food out daily. 

People in Calais are still reeling from the brutal evictions on the 10th of July, which continue to cause huge distress to the communities here. Water points were destroyed, government funded meals ceased, and refugees, who already had so little, were left with no food or shelter, being forced to carry what they can with them.

Return to Calais!

RCK are officially back in our Calais kitchen!!!! It's been an emotional time, but we are so happy to be back in our element, and ready to start the process of safely resuming service.

Because of the risks associated with Covid-19, we are starting off with a small core team to re-open the kitchen & assess the situation on the ground. We cannot currently accept new volunteers but we would REALLY appreciate your donations to help us get back on our feet

We will first announce when we can accept new volunteers in our newsletter, so make sure you're signed up below.

THANK YOU for all of your support throughout this difficult time. We are indebted to you all!

WE HAVE BIG NEWS… We are re-opening the kitchen in Northern France!

A small COVID-19 response team, including the co-founders, will re-open our kitchen in Calais, assess the need in the region and slowly rebuild our operations accordingly. We are busy planning how to adapt our practices so that we can safely and ethically serve the communities who need it most.

We will really need your help as we rebuild our stock and brave this new post-COVID world. 

Please give what you can, share and engage with our social media posts and find creative ways to support Refugee Community Kitchen. This is a communal effort and we need each other now more than ever! 

As always, thank you for your support, especially over the last few months, which have been challenging for all of us. We are incredibly grateful for the community of people that stand together with RCK. 

Love, strength & good health to you all!
