How do we use canned green beans?
Published on July 8, 2021 by Eileen King
Community Kitchen - like most food shelves - has more canned vegetables than we know what to do with. We're chipping away at most of them a little at a time, but the green beans in particular are coming in faster than we can use them up! Wh...

About
Community Kitchen started as an effort to feed a hot meal to folks living in Powderhorn Park in summer 2020. Soon after, partnering with First Congregational Church gave us the space to cook a lot more food and get more volunteers safely involved.
Several years and tens of thousands of hot meals later, we're still going strong, thanks to volunteer kitchen workers and delivery drivers. Working with Twin Cities Food Justice and other food-related mutual aid groups has made it possible for us to cook food that's familiar, comforting, and nutritious for just over a dollar a meal. The vast majority of funds raised are to cover things we can't get from food rescue: packaging, silverware, and drinks.
