Community Teaching and Commercial Kitchen
Raised $34,971.00 Towards the Goal of $23,000.00
Project Wrap Up
Thank you Beatrice and all our supporters from around the country! Because of your generosity, Food4Hope's Community Teaching and Commercial Kitchen is completed and up and running! The space is beautiful and functional and fully inspected, licensed, and insured. We have been busy hosting interactive, hands-on workshops teaching our community that we love "old fashioned" skills like cast iron cooking, pie, bread and pasta making, and how to extract medicinal qualities from herbs. These workshops are red-hot popular with waiting lists for open spots. Check out our website for all our fall and winter workshops. www.Food4hope.org/workshops
Food4Hope is also using the commercial kitchen space to create high quality, made-from-scratch, nutrient -dense, delicious food available for delivery. And we use all local produce so we can support and promote the local growers and producers. It's a 360° win-win-win situation!
Food4Hope is also working with several food entrepreneurs to find creative ways to maximize the kitchen space and bolster the local economy. Stay tuned for more details!
Project Details
Live local! We are your connection to the local food supply chain! Food4Hope is Gage County's Food Hub and local food curator and aggregator! We are in relationship with the local producers of fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, honey, and cheese. We gather it all up, you tell us what you want, and we bring it right to your fingertips. We are the fresh, local, innovative food choice! With the completion of the community teaching and commercial kitchen we will be able to add delicious, nutritious, prepared food in with our current weekly deliveries of eggs, bread, meats, honey, jam, and other tasty morsels!
With current global supply chains in peril, and an impending food crisis due to inflation and food shortages, there is no better time to invest in the infrastructure of the local food supply. We connect local growers and producers to you the consumer, who loves fresh, local, delicious, organic, made-from-scratch food. And we deliver right to you. In today's uncertain world, you want to know where your food comes from. We are all about local food, less traveled. Eat seasonal, eat local, help make the rural communities more resilient by supporting local growers and producers and help bring food security and food sovereignty to your community. Thanks for supporting us and living local!
Our budget for this project is $140,000. With donations we have received and grants we have been awarded, we have already invested $117,000. We are only $23,000 away from completing the project! We still need epoxy flooring, a hood with fire suppression, a few doors, and the finishing touches on plumbing and electrical. That's it! All of that can be accomplished in about 30 days. Will you help get us over the finish line?
When we meet our goal of $23,000 all donations will go to further upkeep and maintenance, as well as future projects and development!
Thank you!!
