Cooking for those in Isolation

A team of volunteers from across the community have been working together to ensure those in need during this difficult time receive a home cooked meal once a week. 

What started as a relatively small operation between  Dave Matthews and his 16 yr old son Bailey Matthews serving approx 50 meals in the first week, has now grown to just over 200 home-cooked meals delivered by a team  of local volunteers. The team cover a wide range of areas including; Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dawlish Warren, Starcross, Holcombe, Kenton, Exminster, Bishopsteignton and Shaldon. 

Each week it costs between £500 - £600 pounds to give everyone a home-cooked Sunday Roast. 

All meals are given free of charge to those in need, there are no costs passed on, and the team are reliant on donations and also the dedication of the volunteer team who give their time and transport costs for free. This project would also not be possible without the kind loan of the kitchen facilities at the Benevolent Masonic Lodge, Teignmouth. The project started from the Meadow Center kitchen but as the numbers increased this became too small to cope. 

We plan to continue this project for as long as the funding allows or until the current restrictions are lifted. To follow our journey please head to our Facebook Page: Kingsway Resident Association Facebook 

Once current restrictions are lifted Dave Matthews along with the Kingsway Residents Association are looking into reinstating the once popular Sunday Club at the Meadow Center, in order to do this further funds will be needed to improve the kitchen facilities at the center. Any monies left over from donations during this time will go towards this project. 

Thank you for reading our story, and we appreciate any donations no matter how small,  to help us continue with this project. 

We hope you stay safe and well.
