The VDSA Lunch Project for the ASC has been in place since 2012. Our group consists of a flexible number of people, working in teams of three each. They prepare a monthly hot and tasty lunch for the clients of the ASC. Our meals are cooked according to hygiene and cultural requirements. Lunch is served at 12.30, and around 2.30pm our volunteers complete their task, which includes clearing and tidying up the kitchen. As in previous years our teams have observed an increase in the number of clients participating in our lunches and a certain level of anxiety in the way they fill up their plates. Fresh fruit is very much appreciated and if there are leftovers they are packed and taken home.
All members of the group agree that our presence is valued and our lunches are gratefully received.
