During the 2020 Covid 19 Pandemic while furloughed, I worked for a few months on a voluntary basis for the Cambridge Poverty Alliance, cooking vegetarian meals for the homeless, vulnerable and those finding themselves in food poverty, creating menu ideas, managing sections of the kitchen and finding creative menu solutions with the donated food.
