“It’s important that people have access to home-cooked meals that they are used to eating. It is comforting to eat the food we know and love, especially throughout the pandemic when many people live alone and feel isolated. A member of our community once said that our meals “taste like back home"

There is a connection between food and culture. Anybody should be able to embrace their heritage through their cultural food, regardless of their circumstances or how much money they have. It’s important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a portal into culture, and it should be treated as such.

We are happy and grateful to be able to offer the meals that we do. Carib Eats is more than just a tasty Caribbean-inspired meal. It’s a chance for people to connect and feel they are truly part of the wider community and not defined by their needs via our canteens"
