Community Kitchen

We believe that everyone should have access to affordable and nutritious food.

A view of the community kitchen
Our aim

For nearly 15 years ADCG has demonstrated a commitment to youth empowerment, building community capacity, increasing local food access, and addressing the root causes of hunger.

​

Our Community Kitchen represents the next step in our commitment to building resilience in our local food system. In addition to housing our cooking and nutrition programming, our kitchen is a commercially licensed space that is available for use by local food businesses and producers. 

​

It’s part of our work to support the initiative to end hunger in Maine by 2030.

It hosts varied events, such as:
  • At Maine SNAP-ed cooking classes

  • Youth Leadership Programs

  • Classes from MSAD 17

  • Free cooking and gardening workshops

  • Community meals

  • Value-added products and food preservation

 

And many more!

Want to use the space?

Our kitchen is equipped with a 10 burner stove, double industrial ovens, a three bay sink and dishwasher, ample counter space, and a variety of smaller instruments and equipment such as cutting boards, stock pots, pans, baking sheets, blenders, and knives.

​

As with most of our programming, there will be a sliding scale rental fee depending on the size and type of organization to use the kitchen.

​

If you could benefit from using this new space, please let us know by filling out our interest form, sending us a brief email, or giving us a call to tell us how you would like to use the Community Kitchen at ADCG.
