Homecooked meals for families with school chidren

A warm home-cooked meal per week will be provided to as many school aged islanders as possible, for as low a price as possible, by a sister-run food company.

Business co-founders and sisters Karen and Nicky Slatter are running another programme to provide discounted, healthy meals to islanders who need them most.

This time, coinciding with the start of the academic year, ready-to-eat home-cooked meals will be delivered to homes with school-aged children aged 5 to 16, in their 'Meals for School-Aged Children'.

Calling themselves a 'small kitchen with a big heart', they say they do have a capacity number, but that they will try to make as many per week as possible. 

The menu will be posted each week, when people can put their name down via email or Facebook. The price will change each week, but they will make them as cheaply as they can. 

Karen says they are not a charity, but feel strongly about their community:

"We see people struggling between having the correct school uniform or having a decent meal, and that's awful. 

"It's horrible to think that Jersey is such a wealthy island there are people who are still struggling."

 

It will start next Wednesday (10 September) and then each following Wednesday for as long as they can.
