A community kitchen is a group of people who meet weekly to cook food and take it home to feed their family. It is not a soup kitchen or a cooking class. In a community kitchen, every member contributes by planning, preparing and cooking food. Participants pay 50 cents per portion for the meals they take home.

There are a variety of reasons for joining a community kitchen and many benefits to membership. When people get together to cook, they are able to save money and produce more meals than they could by working individually. Perhaps even more important is the fun of meeting other people and the experience of working together as a group to accomplish something. Community kitchens are a means of getting out of the house and getting involved in the community. Along the way, people pick up valuable information about nutrition, recipes, cooking and shopping tips, and keeping food safe. They also increase their menu planning and budgeting skills, make great connections with others, and learn about resources in our community.

The Keremeos Community Kitchen meets every Monday, from 9 am to 12:00 noon. We have a crew of dedicated volunteers to assist with meal planning and preparation, and childcare. Members are invited to be involved for a period of three months. We do not income test, meaning that anyone, regardless of income, is welcome to be a member of our kitchen. Seniors, singles, and families have all enjoyed the new friendships, nutritious meals, and mouth-watering recipes.
