Nepal Flood Relief: Social Cooking Stands With Nepal
At Social Cooking, we believe food has a way of bringing people together. Our events are built around connection: cooking together, sharing a meal, having meaningful conversations, and supporting one another.
Sometimes, that sense of community extends beyond the kitchen.
Right now, Nepal is facing a devastating flood crisis. Families have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods, and communities across the country are enduring immense hardship. For many of us in New Zealand, the images and stories coming from Nepal have been heartbreaking. It's difficult to witness such devastation without wanting to help. We would like to share a few simple ways you can support the relief effort.
