Welcome
Welcome to Our Community KitchensA Fond Farewell from Our Outreach Coordinator, Lauren Fawcett
Co-op Members receive a 20% discount on all Cooking Classes and Workshops.
We hope you are enjoying the return to the quarterly cooking
class schedule and the new online registration system. For the last six
years I have worked in the capacity of Community Kitchen Coordinator
and then Outreach Coordinator here at the North Coast Co-op. It has been
such a pleasure meeting so many great people in the community and
being actively involved in the cooking classes, workshops and events. I have
thoroughly enjoyed this rewarding adventure and am delighted to
announce that I have accepted a new position here at the Co-op as our
Prepared Foods Manager. While it is exciting to embark on this new
chapter, I will sincerely miss interacting with so many of you on a regular
basis but look forward to staying in touch. Thank you for being a part
of our Co-op Community Kitchen experience!
