Community Kitchen and Cafe is an emerging social enterprise that helps strengthen community ties among people of all walks of life. This informal gathering place hosts community conversations, story-telling, small group learning, and celebrations. 

It is a supportive environment to learn cooking and nutrition skills , prepare and enjoy nutritious food. A welcoming home for food security programs including Stone Soup. 

One of the major needs expressed by the youth who have been involved either in CCYO programs or reached through CCYO survey or outreach projects, is the need for affordable nutritious food, and the skills to choose and prepare healthy meals. CCYO will continue to offer facilities to provide nutritious meals, provide courses on nutrition and food preparation, and provide training for at-risk youth in a variety of food-service occupations.

Closely tied in to the kitchen will be a community garden, that will provide numerous volunteering opportunities, teach valuable skills to youth and other community members, and provide herbs, vegetables and perhaps other foodstuffs to the Community Kitchen. It will also be a very visible sign of the inclusive activities taking place at the Centre.
