About this Event
This Halloween we’re inviting families to join us at the Bounceback Food Community Kitchen in Altrincham for a pumpkin carving and cooking event!
Join us on Friday 31st October as our community chefs help you and your little ones carve some pumpkins and get creative with some spooky designs! As you carve, we’ll collect the resulting 'food waste' and demonstrate how it can be transformed into delicious dishes...
We'll have some pumpkin specials on the menu for you to try there and then at our Community Kitchen or when you get back home!
We provide the pumpkins and carving tools - you just need to make sure your children are supervised at all times.
Who are we?
Bounceback Food CIC is a social enterprise fighting food poverty on multiple fronts. Our Community Cookery School teams teach people how to cook, run food bank drives at market events, help people get jobs in the food sector and coordinate community meal drives that provide emergency meals for our beneficiaries.
Since 2014 we have taught 12,500+ people how to cook, including stroke survivors, young carers, food bank beneficiaries and elderly people living in sheltered accommodation. We have also secured 25,000+ donations to food banks and generated over 285,000 meals for people in need via our catering, community meal drives and cookery workshops.
Our original Community Kitchen in Altrincham opened on July 1st 2023 - we now have a second Community Kitchen in Mcr city centre too. The 'buy one, give one' menu supports our meal distribution efforts to 15 food banks and sheltered accommodation sites across Manchester.
