Continue Volunteer Chefs wanted for Community Kitchens at the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House
Posted on August 31, 2011 at 1:22pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hello:
The Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House is looking for volunteer chefs to help us run a variety of community kitchens/food workshops (see description below and attached).
I understand you run such workshops and am wondering if someone from VV might be available to volunteer with us once a month, or help us connect with chefs who might be able to do this.
Thank you,
Melanie

pmaden2 said… Hello, I am new, like what I see and would like to be involved. I am new to computer as well barely 2 months. I live in Kits, and want to be more social and involved my interests are organic food gardening, better health and to be more aware of my community and become more involved environmentally. I have to pace myself as I have some health issues. Not sure what the e-mail was for today.

Malin Hansen said… Hi Ross, I was planning another recycling depot, but it depends on if someone is able to host. I will have to ask around. Also, last time we JUST got enough to make it worth it so perhaps we should be looking at doing them every other month instead. I will have to think about this.

Stephanie said… Thanks, Ross! I'm still pretty new to VV (just learned about it at the CoDev film fest a few weeks ago) and am trying to figure out how to use the website. I haven't seen how to accept the group invite but hopefully I'll get there soon. ;) I'm a total newbie to this world and am looking forward to becoming more involved!

Elaine said… Hi Ross! So glad you got to try some of the kefir. I've got more if Mary hasn't given you some to make your own. :) I've also got a kombucha scoby or two that can be passed on if you're interested.
Unfortunately I'm not going to make the potluck this Sunday though! I'm on a train down to California to visit my family for the holidays and will be somewhere along the coast of southern California when you guys are meeting. So sorry to miss out, but I'll be back after the holidays and hopefully we can organize something....stone soup?
Have a great potluck!!
