Yuma’s communal kitchen is one step closer to making it come true
YUMA, Arizona (KYMA, KECY) – In just a few months, Yuma will be home to two educational kitchens.
Project Big Kitchen was made possible through the efforts of the Bordertown Arts Project and the Atticus Kindness Project.
A check for $ 100,000 has been presented to the local founders and construction is scheduled to begin as soon as possible.
The kitchens are used to train and educate the local youth in culinary arts.
“We have had the very lucky opportunity to work with many of the different businesses in town, some of the different restaurants and with some of the different chefs and we are very fortunate to have a wonderful cafeteria manager who will teach young people knife skills, Food safety with the idea that different chefs come into the residence to help, ”said Sam Guerrero, founder of the Bordertown Arts Project.
The funds will be used to build an outdoor kitchen and common room.
The project was named after Alice Baca, who has been an influential community member for years.
