The Neighbourhood Kitchen
A PROJECT OF COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Supporting our community through Food!
The Neighbourhood Kitchen is a Community Outreach & Development project by Community Connections. We believe food should be healthy, sustainable, affordable, and available to ALL.
In addition to supporting our food initiative programming the Neighbourhood Kitchen supports individuals, businesses and groups with low barriers to entry for commercial and personal food processing locally through a new rentable commercial kitchen space and lending library.
Other initiatives include Thursday Hot Food Lunches and an exciting array of workshops and classes that will inspire and guide you on your cooking journey.
Keep reading below for more information on all things Neighbourhood Kitchen including how to volunteer.
