Chelsea Community Kitchen Concept Coming to Life
Community Forum Scheduled to Present Committee Findings

A group of sometimes up to 25 volunteers have spent the last few
months interviewing potential users, partners, and community members;
conducting a truly grassroots feasibility study regarding the
viability of a hybrid commercial rental “kitchen incubator” in western
Washtenaw county. The results will be presented at a public community
forum on Monday, May 18 at 7:00 pm at the Washington Street Center in
Chelsea. The Washington Street Center is located at 500 Washington
Street, Room 100.

The draft mission statement of the Chelsea Community Kitchen is to
“enrich lives through education, cultivate culinary entrepreneurship
and help grow sustainable livelihoods”. The plan is for “the Chelsea
Community Kitchen to be a commercially licensed, shared-use facility
that will incorporate on-site small business development assistance
and broad educational opportunities that will be made available to
encourage and inspire all members of our community”.

If you are unable to attend the community forum but are interested in
learning more about the CCK more information can be found at
