I’m working on my piece about our experience volunteering in the warehouse and the camp in Calais a few weeks ago. In the meantime, the Calais Kitchens women in this video were the ones who inspired us to come, and whom we met when there. I deeply respect and trust them. They are asking for donations of (tinned) chickpeas, tomatoes and fish, as well as cooking oil and ONIONS! Please no pasta.

Thank you, Annie.
What is the best way to send foodstuffs or best way to donate? Thank you.
Thanks for asking! The crowdfunder for cash donations is https://www.youcaring.com/refugees-in-the-calais-refugee-camp-492878
If you know anyone who is driving in a van, that’s the best way to send donations. When we were there, every day people were showing up with food donations in this way. Was quite amazing to behold. But the need seems to always exceed the volume.
Long time, no dispatches from your kitchen, I hope you are well.
Thank you, and hello to you! I’ve forgotten how to write. A thousand writing projects of the go and I can’t remember how… Hopefully I’ll get my mojo back soon… Hope you are well too. 🙂
Well indeed thank you. We all need a rest and regathering of strengths sometimes and mother earth tells us that this is the time to do it…
