About this service
A community Kitchen is a safe, empowering environment where diverse groups of people can come together to learn and share skills of budgeting, planning, shopping, and cooking healthy meals to take home to their families.
We facilitate kitchen groups throughout the Cowichan Valley. Participants from each group get together twice a month to plan, budget, shop and cook nutritious meals to take home to their families.
Most groups have 7-10 people in them. The first meeting is 2 hours long and is where participants decide as a group what 4 meals they will prepare, create a budget and split the shopping duties. The second meeting is about 5-6 hours long and is when the cooking happens.
Each person goes home with containers of prepared meals that can be frozen and eaten throughout the month. The food subsidy is based on the participant's needs. It usually costs each person between $2.00 - $3.50 (for 4 meals) or 50 - 88 cents per meal.
