Queer Food Project invite you share your ideas and support you to make these proposals come to life!
Over the years QFP have aimed to:
-
connect queer people through food.
-
provide space to cook and eat together to make meals more affordable.
-
share skills in the kitchen to build confidence with cooking for 30+ people.
-
build community through the social benefits that accompany a communal meal, such as after dinner study groups, performance nights and providing food for DIY events in Manchester.
Here is an example of what QFP did last year:
​
COLLECTIVE NOURISHMENT
an in-person cook + eat project set up to:
+ intercept food waste to increase peoples access to fresh home cooked meals.
+ cooking quantity with nutritious quality.
+ meal sharing and buying collectively as an act of community resilience, creating a network through acts of queer mutual aid.
this project will be exploring how social eating & preparing meals as a community can influence our personal relationship with food and each other, to learn how we all can mutually benefit from sharing meals.
all meals will be on a pay what you can afford donation.
activities following the meal include Trans Mutual Aid MCR Reading group, and other study group topics around permaculture and community building.
