This weekend, Mouhyedin Alkalel will donate the profits from his falafel stall to the Salvation Army’s Darlington foodbank appeal.
When he launched his own business – Falafel Fella – earlier this year, he pledged to give something back to the town that had given him shelter and kindness.
He has lived in Darlington for about two years, arriving following a harrowing journey that took him from his home in war-torn Syria to Lebanon and from there, to Britain via a United Nations vulnerable persons resettlement scheme.
Mr Alkalel credits the support of Darlington’s people for helping him to succeed in the face of adversity and now hopes to support the community in turn.
During his time working behind the falafel stall at the town’s outdoor market, he has come to know some of the area’s most vulnerable people, handing out free meals to the homeless.
