Press Release Summary: SOHO Coffee Co. in Cambray Place, Cheltenham is donating all of its unsold food to young homeless people through the County Community Projects (CCP). Without this donation many young homeless people in Cheltenham would be without food.
Press Release Body: SOHO Coffee in Cheltenham has freshly made products on its shelves every morning. However, this means there is always unsold food left at the end of each day. This is why SOHO decided to donate un-sold products to a branch of the CCP called the Cheltenham Foyer that provides housing, training, education, employment, advice and support for vulnerable young homeless people aged 16-25.
Louise Walker from the Cheltenham Foyer says, “Lots of the people we house are very young, some of them have just come out of care homes, others have been thrown out by their parents and they cannot afford to buy themselves food, especially those still in full-time education. The food that SOHO supplies is very helpful, it means everyone can have something to eat during the day when they’re at college for example. Without SOHO’s donations a lot of our young people would have to go without.”
Zoey Mansfield, Manager of SOHO Coffee in Cambray Place explains why they took the decision to make these daily contributions, “We want to ensure that although our food is always fresh, that it also isn’t going to waste. So everyday we bag-up everything that’s left over including baguettes, sandwiches, muffins and salads and we know that instead of wasting the food, it’s going to people who need it.” On average SOHO give away £20,000 worth of food to the Cheltenham Foyer every year.
