The Idea

Going beyond the neighborly cup of sugar, community members are developing the SE Portland Community Kitchen Tool Library, a place where anyone can borrow tools and share in the joy of processing, preserving, and serving food. This will make our community a more equitable, sustainable place to live.

The Specifics

In the picture, you will note that our kitchen tools are currently made out of paper. A thousand dollars would help us buy equipment that we cannot otherwise get donated. We would like to offer dehydrators, cider presses, ice-cream makers, grains mills, canning equipment, pressure cookers, and more!

We hope to grow the library into a community-supported kitchen where we can share our culinary skills, nourish our bodies with healthy local food, and collaborate on difficult or intensive projects.
