Operation Steak Pie Cardross
OPERATION STEAK PIE: Nominate someone within Cardross who you think needs or deserves to receive a free meal delivered to their doorstep.
An initiative by Cardross Inn & Cardross Cares to provide a way for all of us to express our thanks to NHS workers and other key workers who are keeping things going during the Coronavirus crisis and at the same time to help the more vulnerable within the village of Cardross at this very difficult time.
Do you know someone who would benefit from a meal delivered to their doorstep?
- A key-worker or someone working really hard to keep our community going
- Someone self-isolating
- Someone finding it hard to buy groceries
- Someone finding it difficult to cook
- Someone who may be feeling vulnerable
- A family member you can't support because you're too far away
- Or just a friend who you want to support.
Make a donation and nominate someone who needs or deserves a meal delivered to their door. You can donate now, food orders will be taken from Monday 4th May 2020.
The Cardross Inn will prepare a delicious platter for two (or for one over 2 days) then Cardross Cares volunteers will deliver it to their doorstep, with re-heating instructions, on a Friday or Saturday between 4 pm and 6pm. Just reheat and eat!
There will be a set menu each weekend, which will change weekly.
So, if you know someone who deserves a meal delivered to their doorstep, make a donation now, and tell us their name and address, and we’ll do the rest!
How it works:
1. Text the name and address of the person you want to receive the meal to 07478388307 by 5pm on a Thursday.
Include the number of platters we should deliver, and whether you want it delivered on Friday or Saturday.
Please note that the delivery address should be within the village of Cardross. Please include your own name in the text.
2. We’ll text you back a link to this crowdfunding page where you can make a donation of whatever you feel is appropriate to cover the cost of their platter.
3. You should let them know to expect a delivery between 4pm and 6pm on the chosen day. IMPORTANT!
4. Leave the rest to us – we’ll prepare and deliver to their doorstep a platter for 2 on your chosen day with a note explaining what’s in the meal, how to reheat it.
5. If we reach our kitchen capacity and are unable to deliver on the requested day, we'll let you know by text and rearrange for another delivery day.
6. If you want to make a donation without nominating someone, that would be hugely appreciated.
Safety measures:
During the preparation and delivery of the food, all appropriate social distancing and hygiene measures will be taken.
Please note this is a doorstep delivery - our volunteers will ring the bell or knock the door and leave the packed food on the doorstep. If there's no-one in, the package will be left at the door.
The important small print:
- The Cardross Inn and volunteers will not benefit from providing this service. We are giving our time and the costs of operating the catering premises free of charge
- Your donation will cover the costs of purchasing the ingredients and the food packaging, and hygiene supplies necessary to prepare and deliver the food safely
- As is normal practice at Cardross Inn we will purchase as much produce as possible from local businesses to support them in these difficult times
- Any money left in the fund once the service is no longer needed will be divided equally between The Cardross Brownies group, The Cardross Scout group, Cardross and Craigendoran Senior Citizens group, and the Dunny Cafe
