Summary

The Soup Kitchen at St. Augustine's serves 60-70 people every Friday, providing vital meals and social connection to our community. To meet growing demand and ensure continued service, we are seeking funding to upgrade our hall kitchen. This includes replacing the outdated cooker hood and dishwasher with an industrial model, as well as renewing essential kitchen utensils.

Description

Equipment Costs:

• Cooker Hood Replacement: Our current cooker hood is no longer able to withstand the high temperatures generated during our weekly soup preparation. It has sustained significant damage and requires replacement. We anticipate a cost of £800-£1000 for a suitable replacement.
• Industrial Dishwasher: To efficiently handle the volume of dishes and cutlery used in the soup kitchen we need to replace our existing dishwasher with an industrial model. This upgrade is crucial to maintain hygiene and improve kitchen workflow. The estimated cost for an industrial dishwasher is £1,250.
• Kitchen Utensils: We are planing to invest £200-£250 in essential kitchen utensils. This will include items such as durable pots and pans, a high-quality toaster, and a microwave. These upgrades will enable us to prepare and serve meals more efficiently.
