Kids Community Kitchen
☆ Sunday afternoons 12:00 - 2:30 pm
Program Lead: Shaista kidskitchen@dtesnhouse.ca
On Sunday afternoon, the Kids Community Kitchen is always a hub of activity at the DTES Neighbourhood House. This is a 12-week kid friendly program.
The Neighbourhood House also introduces children to the use of the humble blender and courts their nutritional imaginations with delicious smoothies. From here they branch out into more demanding recipes. Children learn skills based food safe and cooking as well as nutrition and planning. Each 12-week session ends with a family celebration highlighting a dinner prepared by participants.
Tuesday Night Food Prep
☆ Tuesdays, 6:45 pm to 9:00 pm
On Tuesday nights, our neighbours in the DTES and friends from outside of the DTES work to animate a night of food prep. Together we prepare healthy and nutritious food that is made available to participants in the Community Drop-In the following day.
