Urban Patch - Stone Soup Kitchen
The Stone Soup Kitchen project by Urban Patch will help to make the inner city better by offering classes to people of all ages in the community how to eat healtheir (more fruits & vegetables) while saving money.
About the project
The Stone Soup Kitchen is named after the old fable about collaboration and altruism among people. The project will create a series of classes that will help to teach community members "garden and seasonal nutrition" and how to can and preserve fruit and vegetables to eat healthy and save money year-round.
The Steps
The funds raised through ioby.org will be used to purchase the base materials that will be used for our Stone Soup Kitchen canning and nutrition classes.
Why we‘re doing it
The community needs more affordable and healthy food. A number of community gardens, including our own Park Garden, are operating in the neighborhood. Canning can help to take better advantage of the bounty from the gardens, and also to help people save money on food year-round. The program is modeled on the great work done by the Flanner House Cannery through their Self-Help programs in Indianapolis.
