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!
