Join us for a Community Kitchen dinner with the Rainier Beach Youth Stewards at the end of their summer session! Our Rainier Beach Youth Steward program provides job experience for individuals aged 14-18 through wetland restoration and farm education. They have dedicated their summer to growing, harvesting and now cooking together at the farm.

As always, we will make sure to have vegan and gluten-free options. We focus on sourcing ingredients for the meal from small, local BIPOC farms who use organic growing practices.

In addition to dinner, the youth crew will be offering a farm tour and sharing their experiences from this summer with you.

Menu:

• Chicken Biryani
• Veggie & Beef Pho
• Spring Rolls
• Tiramisu

This is a free event. RSVP is required.

What to Expect

• Following public health guidelines: masks are optional, and proof of vaccination is not required.
• We will have limited indoor space alongside outdoor, covered seating areas. Please dress for the weather. If you plan to explore the farm, please wear proper footwear.
• Everyone is welcome — invite friends and family to share a meal with us by registering for yourselves and others! We ask that each person register so we can prepare the correct amount of food.
• In case of leftovers, please bring containers/tupperware!
• We welcome donations during the event, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
• On-site parking is available, but we encourage visitors to walk, bike, or take public transit when possible. There is a bike rack on site, and we are a short walk from the 7 and 106 buses and the light rail station.

Volunteer

These events are truly a community effort! We welcome support from food prep to set up/breakdown.

Please email Nala Thomas, Community Kitchens Project Manager, if you have any special requests or questions about this meal or the Community Kitchen program.
