Love Food CIC is leading a walk around St Thomas to forage ingredients for a shared meal on Wednesday 25 September.
Launched in 2021, Love Food is a grassroots community food project led by Maresa Bossano which aims to increase access to local, organic, vegan food.
It has run monthly community lunch clubs in Ide Village Hall and St Thomas parish and Methodist church halls for the past two and a half years.
The project raised over £15,000 in a crowdfunder in February to secure a permanent home in Cowick Street.
Love Food recently launched a weekly Thursday lunch club in its new Cowick Street food hub, where it also hosts St Thomas Community Fridge.
This shares free food donated by local food businesses, allotments, households and gardens as well as supermarkets.
Exeter Food Action, Cowick St Co-op, Grocer on the Green, St Thomas Community Garden and Shillingford Organics have all contributed.
Love Food also hosts free and low cost community cookery sessions in venues across Exeter and Teignbridge, and for local organisations including CoLab, YMCA Exeter and St Thomas Library.
September Walk and Cook takes place from 11am-2pm on Wednesday 25 September 2024, starting from the Love Food community food hub at 95 Cowick Street in St Thomas.
Places can be booked for £3 – or at no cost to those in need – via Eventbrite.
Participants are asked to wear suitable outdoor footwear and clothing.
