The Mission's Kitchens Project is a community-based, collaborative initiative, designed to increase knowledge about healthy nutrition as well as specific cooking and food preserving skills. The idea arose from the awareness that “cooking from scratch”, using local, readily available, affordable, and healthy ingredients, is a kitchen art form that is rapidly disappearing in an era of instant foods.

In a time of soaring foods costs, diminishing health, and a loss of connection to where our food comes from, Mission’s Kitchens strives to engage participants in a rediscovery of this important body of knowledge and skills.

The first year of this project was funded by the United Way of the Fraser Valley, sponsored by the Mission Food Access Network, and coordinated by the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley. The United Way generously agreed to fund the project for a second year which is currently underway.
