COMMUNITY KITCHENS

A Community kitchen builds a sense of community around food. Participants come together on a regular basis to socialise and cook affordable and nutritious meals. They then sit down to share the meal or divide it up for each person to take home (or both). Through buying and cooking in bulk, many kitchens are able to produce meals at a lower cost than individuals who cook at home for themselves. Members of community kitchens make new friends and learn new skills. At the same time they are able to save time and money and enjoy healthy meals.

Community kitchens are operating in many parts of Australia. So far the Australian Community Kitchens website does not list any in South Australia. Organisations and groups that are interested in learning more can check the information provided on how to set upa community kitchen. A DVD and manual with more details can be purchased.

WHAT’S ON

Connecting Up Australia will close the Eventspool service on 30 June 2010. 

We have reluctantly reached the decision to discontinue this free community service that we have provided since 2002. To remain current and useful the Eventspool website needs redevelopment but we do not have funds required to do this. There are now a number of free community events websites that provide a similar service. These include:

You are free to continue using Eventspool in the meantime. If you need help or have any questions, please call 8122 2755.
