MPFS Community Kitchen Construction Under Way
Construction is currently underway on Marion-Polk Food Share's Community Kitchen. Half the kitchen will resemble a training-kitchen featuring residential equipment. This educational space will be used to offer nutrition, cooking, food preservation and food budgeting classes. The emphasis will be a "Train the Trainer" program to expand the training throughout the entire two-county footprint.
The rest of the kitchen space will look like a commercial kitchen with professional-grade equipment. The commercial kitchen will be used to prepare hot and cold meals which can be distributed in food boxes and served at local meal sites. Construction should take approximately 12 to 14 weeks.
