What are Community Kitchens? |
|
 |
 |
The Community Kitchens Model was initially developed by Frankston Community Health Service based on the Canadian Community Kitchens concept. It offers an alternative approach to promote healthy eating and the development of personal skills and social support networks within the local community.
A Community Kitchen involves a group of like-minded individuals coming together on a regular basis to socialise and cook before enjoying delicious, affordable and nutritious meals with new friends. Many kitchens buy and cook in bulk to allow the production of many meals at low cost. Participants can then take meals home to enjoy on subsequent days. The participants have ownership over their kitchen and direct how they would like their kitchen to run.
