What a lovely thing to do!
A restaurant in Leeds is preparing to feed hundreds of families on Christmas Day despite facing their own problems in the cost of living crisis.
Mumtaz Restaurant has said it will be feeding people - whether they are in need or not - from 12pm to 2pm, but urged people to be conscious of those who actually need the meals. They will be preparing over 1,000 pre-made dinners to takeaway, a spokesperson for the restaurant confirmed. They said the business is facing its own problems amid the crisis but they want to spread some festive joy during these “testing times” as people have less money to spend on luxuries such as food.A spokesperson for the restaurant said: “We are doing our part to help with the cost of living crisis. Any person, whether needy or not, please come to us on Christmas Day between 12pm to 2pm and we will provide you with a pre-made dinner to take away.
"We ask you to kindly prioritise and think about those who actually will need this bit of festive joy and kindness. We will prepare over 1000 meals so there should be plenty. "YOU ARE NOT ALONE in these testing times. We are facing our own difficulties with rising utility bills, increased food costs and lower custom due to everyone having that little bit less to spend on “luxuries’ like food."
