The Realtors Community Foundation gave us $10,000 to help us with our "A Kitchen to Cook In" project. While we and many other social agencies rightly focus on providing food security and housing for the unfortunate among us, overlooked are the housewares needed to cook, serve and consume food. Too often only processed foods that can be eaten directly out of a can or package become the mainstays for families that we help. Our project provides the kitchen utensils needed for a basic kitchen for a family of four. Simply having enough plates, cutlery and cooking utensils not only improves the quality of the at-home eating experience for our families in need, but having appropriate kitchen utensils improves nutritional uptake. Without these basic essentials to prepare a meal, families too often end up purchasing more expensive and less nutritious fast foods.
