Café Host for Matundret in Sollentuna Parish

In Sollentuna Parish, there is Matundret, which started as a project.

Matundret aims to help people from both a climate-smart and economic perspective. Volunteers assist in collecting food waste from local stores every week; vegetables and other food items that are nearing their best-before date. The food items are then turned into food bags that those in need can subscribe to by agreement with the deacon. The remaining food is transformed into delicious lunch dishes served in our café, Fiket.

Fiket is a pleasant meeting place where we meet each other, both guests and staff, in a respectful and caring manner. Fiket is largely run by volunteers, interns, and those in work training.
