HistoryIn September 2008, Canadian Kelvin Cheung founded FoodCycle. He decided to start the organisation after hearing about the US on-campus student service program, Campus Kitchen, where students use on-campus kitchen space and donated food from their cafeterias to prepare nourishing meals for their communities. FoodCycle's pilot hubs were at the Imperial College London and the London School of Economics. In October 2010, the first Community Café was opened at Stroud Green, Haringey, London, called Station House.[2] PhilosophyFoodCycle's mission is to combine volunteers, surplus food and spare kitchen spaces to create nutritious meals and positive social change in the community.[3] Awards
