Empty Kitchens Full Hearts

Empty Kitchens Full Hearts turns surplus and donated food into meals that are home-delivered to people in need across Edinburgh. Since April 2020, we have provided more than 1.6 million meals, In its most simple terms, we turn surplus food into nourishing meals for people that need them, free of charge and without judgement. By making our service available to all, without the need to prove need, we reach some of the most marginalised people across Edinburgh. We believe nourishing food is a basic human right and there should be no barriers to accessing it. Our core service is the delivery of a 'Day Pack', which comprises a day’s worth of nourishing meals. Community volunteers then package these meals ready for delivery across Edinburgh.
