Churches in Helsinki offer low cost meals. You can have an affordable lunch in great company. Or how would you like dinner after work as a family? Or if you’d just like some porridge or pie, those are available, too. In many locations you can buy the meal as take-away.

The Waste&Feast restaurants run by the parishes prepare meals from food items donated by stores and producers. These items are at a risk of becoming food waste. These ingredients are also used in many other meals as well. From waste to the plate, affordably and ecologically!

Waste and Feast restaurants also employ youth who are finding their place in the workforce and help them on their way to employment. Dining is open to all. You do not need to be a member of any church, and your religious conviction is never asked, nor is your financial situation.

Please see the list below for meals, food aid and food distributions. You can also download a leaflet on meals here.
