Connections made at Meals and More

Volunteers of all ages welcomed guests to the first Meals and More free community dinner.

The latest free community meal initiative, Meals and More in Silverdale, welcomed around 25-30 guests to its first dinner, held on Sunday, July 11.

Organiser Caitlin Watson, a community worker with Coast Community Trust, says there was an abundance of food, supplied by Love Soup – “and lots of great connecting happening around the dinner table”.

On the menu were mini savouries, meat or fish with vegetables and fruit crumble with sorbet for dessert. 

“There was enough food to provide our guests with take home packs,” Caitlin says. “Millies Cafe in Silverdale also donated the day’s leftover croissants and scones for guests to take away.” 

The free meal is available to anyone, and is held on the second Sunday of every month at Coast Vineyard Church, 13 Agency Lane, Silverdale Village, from 5.30pm. The next one will be on August 8.
