We’ve been in operation for over 6 years, so we’ve got our mobile kitchen down to a tea (we even own a cart). We’re always looking to support new communities. Whether you’re another non-profit or community-based organization looking to build community with the clients you serve or just a community member looking to bring your neighbours together, we’d love to support where we can.
If you are part of a Community League please see here for more details specific to Leagues.
Who’s on Our Team?
Our volunteers have diverse skill sets and identities. We’ve listed some of them below so you get a sense of the breadth and diversity of programming opportunities we can offer:
What programs can we offer
Of our programs listed here we are only running in-person community socials. We prioritize running them in spaces with some sort of kitchen set-up, or we modify the program for spaces without kitchens, as we are keen to help groups run cooking socials on their own.
In terms of in-person programming what we would need from you is:
- Indoor space (we can work in spaces with and without a kitchen! In fact, we’ve hosted several socials in classrooms).We do have some money to put towards rent.
- Access to a bathroom with warm water a soap
- Access to a sink of some kind
- * We can also move our socials outdoors in the summer months
- Promotion of the cooking social to your community members
- 1-2 Volunteers from your organization.
- *We’re more than happy for your organization to join in and talk about your great work. (we ask that your staff and volunteers also come and cook with us- trust us, you’ll have better uptake this way)!
- Insurance: currently, all participants and volunteers sign liability forms. We also have liability insurance.
We bring the groceries and depending on the type of social the uentsils. We also support with set-up and take-down.
If our programs sound like a good fit for your community or organizations, please get in touch. You can email us at info@conversecook.com or use the form below. We’ll aim to get back to you within 5 business days. Thanks for your interest, we can’t wait to meet you and work with you to build community in your neighbourhoods.
