BRADFORD COMMUNITY KITCHEN
Bradford Community Kitchen is a local organisation in Bradford originally set up in April 2017, initially we served a 3 course meal each Sunday to those in need. When Covid hit we were no longer able to provide this service so we opened a food bank which operates 7 days a week, unlike other foods banks people are not restricted by the amount of times they can request our help.
