Resistance Kitchen

Resistance Kitchen is a community kitchen sharing hot meals, fresh fruit & vegetables, and home cooking essentials like rice, pasta, sauce, tuna, cereals with those in need in our local community of Croydon & Lambeth in South London. We operate a food stall near Norbury Railway station every Saturday 2pm where all are welcome, no referrals, no vouchers, no questions asked. We also campaign for social justice as we believe food banks are not a solution, systemic change is needed to alleviate poverty.
