At Gratitude Charity, we believe that no one in Borehamwood should have to choose between heating and eating. To help those struggling with rising living costs, Gratitude serves free hot vegetarian meals from the front of our building — freshly prepared and full of kindness.
Cooked with Care by Our Level 3 Chef
All meals are cooked in our 5-star rated kitchen by our Level 3 certified chef. The dishes are simple, nourishing, and always vegetarian — ensuring everyone can enjoy them.
Our most senior volunteer, Aunty Enid, happily serves food to all who come. She has been part of Gratitude since our very beginnings, first cooking at St Teresa’s Church 14 years ago. Her warm smile and dedication are at the heart of our community work.
Feeding the Community Every Week
This new initiative builds on Gratitude’s long-standing commitment to helping local families in need.
- Weekend food bags for 4 local schools — supporting families over the weekend.
- Foodbank services for 1,941 people every week, ensuring that everyone can access fresh and essential groceries.
- Now adding free hot food to all who come (while stocks last), extending our support beyond dry goods.
Everything we do is powered by volunteers who give their time, energy, and compassion to make a real difference.
Respect and Gratitude Go Hand in Hand
We welcome everyone — all we ask in return is respect and gratitude.
Please be mindful of parking rules and kind to the volunteers who serve you. Every act of courtesy helps keep this service running smoothly for all.
