Two information sessions for prospective FEED Kitchens users are scheduled for April:
Saturday, 4/26 — 2 to 3:30pm
Tuesday, 4/29 — 6 – 7:30 pm
Both will be held at the Kitchens, 1219 N. Sherman Ave. Please let us know if you will be attending: director@northsidemadison.org or 230-1221.
Come out this Saturday, April 5, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to the first ever FEED Bazaar/Open-House. It will be a great opportunity to get a look at the Kitchens and to meet some of the current and future users of the facility. There will be samples to try and products to buy, so bring your appetite and your pocket book and find out more about local food business and the people behind it.
We are working on our website and will soon have a calendar of events list on the front page so you have a better idea of what is coming up at FEED Kitchens and what our users are up to, but in the meantime, keep checking here for updates.
Our next User Informational Session is going to be held on Tuesday, March 25 from 6:00 to 7:30 at the Kitchens. Please e-mail Karen Bassler to reserve a spot.
If you can’t make the March date, we will have two sessions in April, on Saturday, April 26 and Tuesday, April 29. You can also schedule a walk-through with Adam at the Kitchens. It won’t be quite as detailed as the informational sessions, but you will still get the pertinent information and a quick tour of the facility.
On Sunday, February 23, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., we will have an Open House at the FEED Kitchens for anyone who would like to come out to see the building and get a brief tour and explanation of what we do and who we are.
If you have ever wondered about the newest building on the Northside, considered renting space, or just want to say hello, stop by. If you can’t make it on Sunday, you can always give us a call and we can set-up a walk-through for you as well.
