Bowser Bean Cafe’s Post

What a fabulous post! Sharing and thinking @DavidNicholls of whom I can refer to you! x

Doing so much for so many who need it so much.

As a manufacturer of smart foodcyclers (Electric Kitchen Composter ) from China, we wholeheartedly support the mission of bringing communities together through the power of shared meals -the need to celebrate our unity and reject division is indeed as vital today as it was when this movement first began in 2017. In an increasingly polarized world, initiatives that foster connection, empathy and a sense of shared humanity are more important than ever. We applaud FoodCycle's efforts to nourish communities, both physically and socially, by providing free meals made from surplus food.  This not only helps reduce food waste, but also creates opportunities for people to come together, share a meal, and appreciate what binds us rather than what divides us. As a company dedicated to promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness, we deeply resonate with the values that drive the Great Get Together. Thank you for your leadership in this inspiring movement. We wish the FoodCycle team great success in your upcoming events, and we look forward to continuing to support your efforts to create a more connected, compassionate world. #FoodCycle #CommunityEmpowerment #FoodWasteReduction #SustainableLiving #SocialConnection #EmpathyMatters #UnitedWeStand #ShareAMeal #GreatGetTogether #FoodCycler #ElectricKitchenComposter #ElectricComposter #KitchenComposter

Company Shop Group owned by Biffa, were part of the latest episode of BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme, which explored the issue of food insecurity and the various ways that different organisations are providing support to those experiencing it. Community Shop's Executive Chairman, Gary Stott, showed presenter Jaega Wise around Community Shop Lambeth and explained the differences between social supermarkets and food banks. Community Shop's sustainable model uses surplus food and household goods that would otherwise have been wasted to provide our members with dignified access to deeply discounted products. Alongside this, Community Hubs and Kitchens offer a range of training and development programmes to help build stronger individuals and more confident communities. In the programme members talked about the difference Community Shop has made to them, and the thousands of families they support across the country – listen here https://bbc.in/3PpQoOo

What Flavor Fusion brings to the community! If you have ever visited Minot, North Dakota, you will know there isn’t much to offer here. It is a small town. In today’s world when starting a brand you have to be creative in doing so, so we came up with the idea of bringing a southern flavored homestyle barbecue food truck all the way up north. Being from Mississippi and now living in North Dakota, it was definitely culinary shock being here. The closest thing I have heard of good barbecue up north is in Kansas City, which is the Midwest. The unique thing about a food truck is it gives you the chance to really get to know your customers up close. Food trucks can be deeply rooted in the community. Setting up in local parks, community events and partnering with non-profits, the sky is the limit. It is about serving great experiences to diverse people. Our trucks aren’t just businesses, they are ambassadors in the cities. Serving the community beyond just food. As food truck leaders, the role doesn’t just end at serving food. We wear the hats of entrepreneurs and community changers. Food Trucks have close knit teams running the show. People are cognoscente of where their food is coming from, and food truck owners have the ability to choose local healthy resources. Food Trucks are points of interaction not just sales. Customers can use our QR codes to get information about the company. This is not just a journey from one location to another, this is about making a difference everywhere we go. To some, the food truck might just be a quick meal and that’s ok, but to others its about the connection. Do you remember growing up as kid hearing the ice cream truck and how excited you got. Well, I want to be the barbecue truck that provides that same lasting memory the ice cream truck did. #roleofthefoodtruck #foodtruckguidance #foodtrucksinthecommunity

Megan, What's this HorseSense thing you have on the menu? Where is HorseSense?? What's this all about??? Here's what it's all about: HorseSense is an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with and without disabilities through a friendship with the horse. They strive to improve the bodies, minds and spirits of riders by providing weekly therapeutic horseback riding lessons! There are several benefits youth and adults with cognitive, physical and psychological disabilities experience throughout lessons as they master their riding skills. Sitting astride a horse increases balance and coordination, strengthens muscles and brings about body awareness, for example. And through complex, interactive lessons, riders practice their speech, reading and problem-solving skills as they learn to follow instructions. Other benefits include: improved reflexes, weight-bearing ability, range of motion, stamina, hand-eye coordination, sensory integration, left/right discrimination, decision-making, independence, patience, physical fitness and responsibility. Do you love when you donation dollars stay in our area? Do you love to give back to veterans? Are children's charities something you're passionate about? Come check this unique fundraiser out! We'll see you tomorrow at Horstman Homestead Farms! When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
