Cook Meals

About the event

Turn surplus produce into nourishing meals for our neighbors. In partnership with One Love Community Fridge, volunteers will work alongside a professional chef Amanda Huang of Earth Made Kitchen to transform fresh, seasonal ingredients into delicious prepared meals to help fight food insecurity in our neighborhoods. Volunteers will learn basic cooking techniques, kitchen safety, and creative ways to reduce food waste while preparing dishes inspired by the produce available that week. After cooking, volunteers will package meals and help stock local One Love Community Fridges throughout Bed-Stuy, ensuring that free, healthy food is available to community members whenever they need it. This hands-on program combines culinary skills, sustainability, and direct service, offering a meaningful way to address food insecurity while strengthening neighborhood connections.
