Surplus-food kitchens worth going back to.
Surplus-food cooking is a kitchen with a purpose: food that would otherwise be wasted is turned into meals and shared out. It runs on volunteers and a weekly rota, so a session is half cooking and half a crew you get to know, and the shift ends with a full table rather than a full bin.

Cooking surplus food is practical and social at once. There is a real job to do — sort, chop, cook, serve — and the regularity of the rota is what turns a volunteer shift into a standing group.
The 14 Spaces below all cook surplus food into meals and depend on volunteers to do it. A shift needs no experience, only a few hours.
