Hot Line Meals provides over 150 kosher meals daily to people who cannot cook a meal for themselves and their families.
They support people with limitations caused by temporary or long term illness. This includes elderly people, those on low income, people with special needs, impaired mobility, dysfunctional individuals or parents suffering mental health issues.
The charity also supports people who cannot get out due to recovery from a debilitating illness, hospitalisation, surgery or after child-birth.
In 2019 the Randal Charitable Foundation funded the provision of 3 months’ worth of meals in London for the elderly, frail or those from dysfunctional backgrounds, as part of the charity’s
Buddy and Befriending Project . In 2021 the Foundation provided an additional grant for the provision of nutritious 3 course meals to 30 elderly and vulnerable individuals daily for n6 months
When preparing nutritious meals the charity takes into account the specific needs and wishes of its users, including soft and easily digestible food, specific dietary needs such as diabetes, food allergies and cultural requirements.
The meals are cooked daily by 12 volunteer chefs in a purpose built commercial kitchen and packed by 104 volunteers of all ages, each week.
The food is then delivered to the families’ homes free of charge, by 59 volunteers, who also provide recipients with vital physical and emotional support.
