Community Kitchens
What is a Community Kitchen?
A community kitchen is a small group of people who get together to prepare meals for themselves or their families.
Why join a Community Kitchen?
There are many benefits to joining a community kitchen.
- Meet new people and have fun sharing ideas.
- Take home nutritious, home cooked meals for yourself and your family.
- Learn new recipes and try new foods.
- Save time and money.
Who can join a Community Kitchen?
You can make a community kitchen group open to anyone in your community. Or you might want to organize a kitchen for a group who already have something in common, like people who live in the same apartment building, a group from a parenting program, an immigrant support group, a seniors group, or a group of students.
Where can we cook?
Churches, community centres and co-ops often have well-equipped kitchens that they might let you use for free. If you are cooking with a small group of friends, you may decide to use your own kitchen.
Where can we go for help?
