When I started cooking Italian food post-mission, I had a very difficult time cooking in small quantities. The methods and recipes I had learned lent themselves better to large scale cooking, so I naturally always had leftovers and generally gave them away.
After I got married, the tradition of cooking too much kept rolling right along. I’d cook Sunday afternoons, have waaaaaay too much food left over, and end up giving it out to neighbors.
This making-too-much-and-giving-it-away became one of the core values of Contadino’s when I started cooking and delivering. We enjoy giving food away to people we love, and regularly do. That’s where Operation FOF comes in…
Operation Feed Our Friends
We’re all making our way through tough times, in one form or another, and we could all use a leg up or a smile or in our case some free food. Operation Feed Our Friends is our way of trying to help everyone in tough times, and we need your help. We know some people that need food, but we take care of them pretty well. YOU, on the other hand, know a lot of people that could really enjoy some free food.
Here’s how it is going to work…
Every week we will pick one story out of those we receive and deliver food to their door, either anonymously or with a small card from you (you decide). The only catch is they MUST be in our deliver area (Click Here for a Map). Just fill out the form and let us know who it is and why they need some awesome Italian delivered.
If you want to participate more often, you are welcome to order food for someone else and we can deliver it to them, and we’ll give you a deal on the food too. Just use coupon code FOFAUG001 and you’ll get 10% off your Feed Our Friends order!
