St. Timothy’s Anglican Church partnered with local Burnaby renovation company, Sasen Renovations, to overhaul its existing kitchen space. This new space, called the Legacy Kitchen, will be used by the church community and community organizations who conduct food programs, including the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, which hosts a neighbourhood food bank for approximately 100 people at St. Timothy’s each week.
Maribeth Mainer, liaison for the parish working with Sasen Renovations, explains how this renovation will impact the use of the space, and the community. “The possibilities are plentiful now that we have a kitchen that complies with commercial food safety requirements,” explains Mainer. “In the future, we would like to look at hosting a community kitchen for our neighbours. We are excited about the support and training the Greater Vancouver Food Bank can offer us as we begin planning,” Mainer adds. Those interested in collaborating with St. Timothy’s in further programming for the kitchen are invited to be in touch. More people and resources are always needed for this work.
