Project: My Sister’s Kitchen
Organization: The Gathering Place
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 received $3000 for “My Sister’s Kitchen”. As a result of a focus group with some of its female clients, the participants suggested evening cooking classes where women would learn some cooking skills and be able to take the leftovers from the evening home. The women will decide on the menu, make the grocery list, determine amounts, prepare the food and pack containers to take food home. The program will develop resilience for those experiencing food insecurity, improve social skills, provide nutritious food and build confidence and enjoyment in cooking.
This program will be completed by the end of 2022, we look forward to updating you all on their progress!
