HUMANS OF RCK: Nina

Introducing the wonderful Nina, who's been volunteering in Calais since the start of 2020. As hilarious as she is hard-working, she's helped form part of the incredible long-term team serving Calais through COVID-19.

"I initially worked with RCK in February 2018, because I wanted to contribute my piece to creating practical change in light of this humanitarian crisis. Traveling back and forth between my home and Calais for two years, I decided to become a longterm volunteer in January 2020. Since then, I enjoy being surrounded by equally driven people to express our solidarity and provide good, nutritious food in times of crisis.

Since the rise of COVID-19 in France, we have been operating under a lot of pressure to keep providing our service with a smaller team, while ensuring that it is safe to access our distributions."

Thanks to the Garlic Farm

Our eternal thanks to the wonderful Garlic Farm who have kept us in garlic for over 4 years!

They've donated tonnes of bulbs all the way from their Isle of Wight farm to our Calais kitchen, making sure our dishes are flavourful and nutritious.

Crushed, chopped, fried or roasted - garlic forms the the base of each and every dish we make, while the peeling tables are the chattiest spots in the kitchen!

RCK T-SHIRT

Our brightly coloured RCK tees have been selling really well - thank you so much to everyone who has bought one so far! Every single t-shirt helps our organisation keep preparing, cooking and distributing nutritious meals to displaced people.

1 t-shirt = 25 meals

Go quickly and order yours before they're all gone! ->

HELP US GET NEW EQUIPMENT FOR THE CALAIS KITCHEN!

In our Calais kitchen, we cook for thousands of people a day. In order to do this we need the best, heavy-duty, equipment - oh, and it needs to be GIGANTIC too!

Our dependable stainless steel 'gastros' that carry the curry and rice to the distribution sites in Calais & Dunkirk cost about £25 each.

Can you help us to buy more so that we can replace damaged ones?

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

HUMANS OF RCK: Callum

Meet the wonderful Callum who has been with RCK for the best part of a year! This keen cook, movie buff and coffee fanatic has a very special place in our hearts. He brought exciting flavours to the kitchen and made the general vibe a very happy one. He also put in a lot of work in various coordinator roles and helped us manage lots of stuff with RCK behind the scenes.

WE LOVE YOU CALLUM!

Thank you for all your hard work and we wish you all the best .

RCK Outreach on the ground

Our UK teams are still out on the ground, handing out delicious hot meals to whoever needs one. In this time fraught with financial uncertainty for so many people, it's great to be able to provide people with a consistent source of nourishing food.

Here is a video of our Hackney team in action. You can also find our Camden, Brixton and Edinburgh teams out every week doing good work. Thank you to all of the volunteers and donations that make it happen!
