The Country Food Trust has partnered with Veterans Aid in a bid to introduce wholesome and quick-to-prepare meals to its London hostel residents. Our recent delivery of 1008 pouches was received very well.
Tim Woodward Chief Executive of The Country Food Trust who is ex military said “We are delighted to partner with Veterans Aid to help those who have given so much for their country. Veterans Aid are exactly the sort of partner charity we are looking to help as we grow in the coming years”
CEO of Veterans Aid Dr Hugh Milroy said, “Country Food Trust’s products have been a godsend to our residents – microwaveable, nutritious, tasty and with a long shelf-life, they are the perfect fit for both hungry Drop-in Centre clients and hostel residents slowly getting to grips with the road to sustainable independence.
“Food is often the first intervention by VA staff. Some of the men and women ringing our doorbell can’t recall when they last ate or had a warm drink. Our tiny kitchen is equipped with just a kettle and a microwave, which are both in constant use.
Introduction of the casseroles has meant that men returning late after work, training or treatment sessions have had access to something tasty and healthy and as the cold weather closes in availability of a quick to prepare hot meal makes them particularly popular.
VA’s flagship hostel, is getting a £7m makeover and upgrade.
