Flatlander Fund

Why A Community Kitchen
From providing a place to support knowledge and understanding to breaking down barriers to boosting economic development, the Flatlander Community Kitchen will be a great asset to our community. Here are four great reasons to support the Flatlander Community Kitchen:

We are what we eat, and we have a lot to learn about how our eating habits are impacting our health care costs, our kids’ abilities to learn, our local economy, and the environment. The Flatlander Community Kitchen will support knowledge and understanding.

Foodie entrepreneurship is good—for our palettes and our local economy. Many local food artisans, farmers, and chefs have everything it takes to launch a new culinary product, except access to a certified commercial kitchen. The Flatlander Community Kitchen will provide that missing link, making great new things in economic development and entrepreneurship possible.

Food breaks down barriers—from economics and politics to ethnicity, education and age, there are plenty of factors that divide us and very few that bring us together. The Flatlander Community Kitchen will provide a place for everything from casual potlucks to fundraisers.

Your inner chef needs an outlet, a place to learn new techniques, try new recipes, and share ideas. The Flatlander Community Kitchen will provide a facility for culinary workshops and demonstrations as well as communal cooking projects.
