(Chelsea Update would like to thank Kathy Carter for the information in this story.)
Chelsea Community Kitchen (CCK) is a non-profit focused on a vision of a community where enthusiasm for local food helps people, the environment, and the economy thrive.
The group’s summer activities highlight this focus with programs for children, food entrepreneurs and businesses, and expanding our work.
CCK is looking for a part-time Program and Administrative Coordinator to assist them. As they’ve grown, it’s become harder to rely only on volunteers to maintain the daily operations. The groups needs someone with experience in a non-profit setting and a proven track record of building relationships with community partners and stakeholders, as well as the organizational and management skills to ensure the success of programs. The initial contract will be for 6 months, with renewal available.
The position will start July 1 at 20 hours per month. Click here for the job posting.
The 2015 Kids Cooking Camp means another great summer adventure in healthy cooking and good eating awaits your children. Click here to register children in grades 1-6 for a great week of learning about food and how to prepare it.
This year’s theme will be “Cooking Around the U.S.A.” Teacher Judy Radant will lead sessions featuring healthy foods from different parts of the country. As always, each day will include practicing kitchen safety, keeping food clean (sanitation), cooking techniques, clean-up and following directions.
Registration for the 2015 Camp is filling. Half day sessions will be offered for grades 1-3 and grades 4-6 the week of July 20-24, at $25 per daily session. Register for 1 day or all 5 to customize your week.
As part of CCK’s support to the food economy we are offering ServSafe® food safety training for those who need to fulfill the Michigan Food law requirement. Food Protection Manager is an 8-hour self-study and review class.
Students read and study the book prior to class, then do a 7-hour review of key materials prior to taking the national certification test. Held on Monday, July 27, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., you must register by July 10 in order to get materials to study prior to the class. Fee is $140.
