The Community Pot
Where we cook with care, give with heart, and nourish beyond ourselves.
The Community Pot is about more than food. These gatherings create space for people to show up, work alongside each other, and contribute to something larger than themselves. In each session, we come together to cook nourishing meals that are shared with local food banks, shelters, or neighbours in need.
Whether you're chopping vegetables, washing dishes, or simply showing up with an open heart, you’re part of something bigger — a collective act of service rooted in care, dignity, and community resilience. Through cooking and sharing, we offer nourishment not only to those receiving the meals, but also to each other — through presence, shared work, and meaningful connection.
No cooking experience is needed. All ingredients are provided, tasks are simple and collaborative, and every hand helps.
Each gathering includes time to share a simple meal together, using a portion of what we’ve prepared, as we connect and reflect in community. The remaining meals are then packaged and delivered to local food banks, shelters, or neighbours in need.
Come stir the pot with us and feel what happens when nourishment becomes a gift we offer together.
All gatherings are free to attend; your time and presence are the contribution.

he radishes are growing, and as they ripen, we’ll gather to turn the harvest into bright, flavorful jars of radish relish, prepared for donation to our local food banks. These sessions follow the rhythm of the garden — the date will be set once the harvest is ready.
