We offer several types of opportunities to learn kitchen skills, build community, and fill your freezer with healthy, homemade, DELICIOUS meals. We have adult nights, adult parties, kids classes, as well as ready-made meals to purchase. We want to make feeding your family, easy, economical and fun!
Enjoy cooking in a group and taking delicious affordable meals home to your family. Community Kitchens run Wednesday and Friday with a different focus for each kitchen. There is a cost per person to help cover the cost of ingredients. Childminding is provided for $2/child. Registration is required.
Focusing on daily small practices leads to big results
Socialize with other seniors in the community while enjoying a delicious and nutritious homemade meal. This program features a mix of guest speakers, social activities and theme activities during the holiday seasons.
No need to cook and eat alone! Social Cooking sessions are offered at Gordon Head Recreation Centre and GR Pearkes Recreation Centre bi-weekly. This is not a cooking instruction class but a cooperative, fun social time to cook together and enjoy a meal. Everything provided, just bring an apron and extra container in case of leftovers!
A pre- and post-natal program, in cooperation with Victoria Best Babies and Island Health that aims to optimize nutrition and health in expectant new parents and families.
As part of our mission to increase access to healthy food, we have established an edible nursery where we grow and sell a variety of annual and perennial vegetables, herbs and fruits for the backyard and community gardener. We believe strongly that providing hardy, vigorous plants to Victoria’s thriving gardening community is an important piece in the local food security puzzle.
