Join Chelsea Community Kitchen at the second “Healthy on a Budget” demonstration on Wednesday, Aug. 17 from 3-5 p.m.at Faith in Action’s Chelsea food pantry located at 603 S. Main on the grounds of the Chelsea Community Hospital.
Kathy Carter, CCK board president and accomplished home cook, will offer tips for preparing and preserving the August bounty of tomatoes, zucchini, and Swiss chard (and similar veggies). Stop in for an hour and get involved in the cooking or check it out for a sample and some recipes.
Fresh fruit and vegetables can be a boon for health for low-income residents. Programs like Washtenaw County’s Prescription for Health and Faith in Action’s food pantry are making a difference by making fresh, local produce available to people who need it the most. But not everyone knows what to do with the bounty of fresh food. In answer to that need Chelsea Community Kitchen is offering “Healthy on a Budget” demonstrations this summer at the Faith in Action food pantry.
Healthy on a Budget demos are on 3rd Wednesdays. The next one is Sept. 21, featuring Judy Radant, cooking teacher and professional chef, with fall recipe ideas using squash and pumpkins, root vegetables, cabbage and others.
