A few weeks
back, our Birmingham-based restaurant, Holy Moly – home of the ‘Proper Mac’, headed up by Paul Elliott teamed up with national
charity, FoodCycle, to help support vulnerable people in the local community
each week with hot meals.
FoodCycle
combines surplus food, spare kitchen spaces and volunteers to create
three-course meals for people at risk of food poverty and social isolation,
whilst helping those who may not be able to afford to feed themselves or their
children.
Holy Moly
donated its first selection of its vegetarian cheesy ‘Proper Mac’ to the UK
charity in January and has provided hot meals on a
weekly basis since, until the restaurant was forced to close due to the
COVID19 outbreak.
We’re pleased to announce, we will donate essential food on a weekly basis, during lockdown. Throughout this uncertain time, it is now more important than ever, that those who are most exposed are not left hungry or lonely, and we support the mission and determination of this incredible national charity, and ensure our community is fully nourished.
Different parts of the network have been involved in ensuring this goes ahead including –
Martin James Foundation who have provided the donation through their EPIC programme. Agility Group – kindly provided the van to transport the goods between wholesaler and FoodCycle. Martin James Group – some of our colleagues helped arrange collection and drop off and Tribera who continue to raise awareness of FoodCycle and promote the partnership.
Paul Elliott, Head of Business at Holy Moly which is part of the Martin James Network, added: “FoodCycle do some incredible work supporting the local community. The charity is made up of amazing volunteers who provide so much to those in need and being able to play a small part in helping, especially during this time, means a lot to us all here.”
