Volunteer Chefs wanted for Community Kitchens at the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House

Posted on August 31, 2011 at 1:22pm 0 Comments

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

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.

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.

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!

Hi Ross,

Glad to join!  Yes, I know Grant, the former coordinator at CROWS Point lived with him once.  The garden is going very well and we have our first event for the year planed already. We are hosting a workshop where gardeners will be creating their own signs to name their garden plots on Feb 12.

Talk to you later,

Celina

Awesome - its an honor to be here - Robin has talked so highly of you for years - what a beautiful initiative this web platform is, reflecting an awesome and powerful real world community!

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!!

Thanks!

Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

48 discussions

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
