Parkdale Food Centre Presents…At Home with Anna!
We are now hosting a series of online cooking workshops for our neighbours, led by our very own Chef Anna! Participants will follow along at home, while watching the live demonstrations. Participants will be able to interact and type in their questions or comments throughout the workshop. All ingredients will be provided to participants, prior to the workshop. This is a great way to connect with our neighbours and bring some healthy food inspiration and some connection into their homes!
When:
Once a week on Thursdays from 11:00 AM- 12:00 PM with Zoom. All ingredients will be delivered, or can be picked up on Wednesday afternoons, along with a recipe.
Participants will need to fill out a Google Form in order to register, no later than the Tuesday of the event.

Who:
The workshops are designed to reach as many neighbours as is manageable (about 30). Our aim is to make the workshops as accessible as possible to anyone who is interested, regardless of skill level and ability.
About Chef Anna:
Anna is a trained chef and is currently working as a Kitchen Co-ordinator at Parkdale Food Centre. She is highly experienced in teaching cooking classes- both in-person and online, to a broad range of students, such as: children in public schools, private classes, college students, high school students and professionals.
Note:
Assistance for access to a computer and internet can be provided through PFC upon request. Should the participants need access to a computer, email or
the internet, please reach out to Anna personally and she will make the required arrangements.
Neighbours should test their zoom platform ahead of time to ensure their device has the required updates and software.
Participants will require some basic kitchen access and equipment (such as: sink, stove, oven, cutting board, small knife, small sauce pot and lid or saran, colander, spoons, dish soap, mixing bowl, baking sheet and hand towels). If these items are not available, please advise and we will provide them.

The health and well-being of our neighbours, volunteers, community partners and employees are, and have always been, our top priorities. Note the following changes/updates:

If you want to help
We need you! Parkdale Food Centre has always responded to acute needs in our City with a full heart, and we are only able to do so because of your incredible support.
We recognize that COVID 19 and its implications, including potential self-isolation and school closures, affect low-income and vulnerable individuals and families most. Many cannot afford to stock their pantries for a potential quarantine; many face unpaid leave in the event of a prolonged absence from work; children in need will be without important free meals otherwise available through school breakfast programs; and for those with mental health challenges or inadequate housing, self-isolation can have debilitating consequences. As always we will be doing our best to respond to each and every need based on the resources we have available. We appreciate your support during this complex and evolving time.
