Welcome to
Friends of Di's Kitchen
What We Do
Friends of Di’s Kitchen (FODK) is a charitable organisation, the aim of which is to provide food, once a week, to anyone in need across the city of Wolverhampton. The food is delivered to the homes of our guests by a team of dedicated volunteers. We operate a two week ‘menu’ - one week guests will receive a nutritious three course meal freshly prepared in a private home, the following week they will given a bag of food to help them prepare a meal in their own kitchen. These bags will contain long life products purchased by FODK and surplus fresh food donated by supermarkets, other charities and local residents.
​
Referrals to our organisation are made by professional organisations - schools, social workers, health visitors, police, local councillors, religious groups etc - or by the guests themselves. FODK does not ask for proof of need but each referral is followed up by a phone call to check dietary needs, numbers in the household and the ages of children.
​​
Guests benefit from our volunteers weekly ‘face to face’ doorstep meetings and often help and advice is offered - and other organisations that might be able to help are signposted. The dedicated FODK phone line also offers emotional support for guests in times of need.
If you, or anyone you know is in need of food support please do contact us.
