Eat Well co-founder Mary-Ellen McTague said: “We’re so grateful to the people that have donated prizes, it’s a brilliant list! Eat Well MCR is self-funded, rather than government funded, so fundraising activities like the raffle are essential for our survival.”
The non-profit started during the first lockdown, after former Fat Duck chef Mary-Ellen rallied local chefs to donate the food that was poised to be thrown away when restaurants were forced to close due to the pandemic. She then enlisted the help of restaurant kitchens across the city to help cook meals for those facing food poverty.
Since it launched, it’s provided a staggering 70,000 meals for people who would otherwise struggle to feed themselves and their families.
