– the scrumptious veggie food cooked up will be food that would otherwise have gone uneaten
– the price you pay? what you can afford or feel you want to give – if you can afford it & want to support the project: give generously, if you are really struggling then give whatever you can or take it as a gift, and you can always gift us something in return, maybe doing the washing up, for example!
