Canadian Mental Health Association Community Kitchen
Drop by Fitness Corner this season to help support this great program or bring a Toonie to our Christmas Luncheon or Wine & Cheese Cookie Exchange if you would like to contribute.
The Community Kitchen was implemented in 2004 to assist people in a number of life skills areas. This group is open to anyone in the community interested in meeting on the 2nd Friday of each month at the Lutheran Church in Port Elgin. A group of 10-12 participants cook a meal together, eat lunch and then take leftovers home. There is no cost to the participants.
