The Center for Food Preservation Arts
The Center for Food Preservation Arts mission is to work very locally to re-center the food system by addressing food insecurity and waste. They are located in Tacoma. The Center for Food Preservation Arts strengthens our community by creating opportunities for people of different abilities, socio-economic statuses, cultural, and racial backgrounds to come together around the shared experience of food preservation.
Services available include:
- Educational demonstrations and hands-on workshops in food preservation and family nutrition both on site and as outreach. (learn more under the EDUCATION page)
- Activities that support local emergency food programs. Preservin' for the Hungry, for example, operates under WSDA permits to produce jams and apple sauces that can be distributed to those in need. (learn more under their SUPPORT page)
- Provide use of commercial kitchens for neighborhoods and groups to hold Canning and Preserving Parties.
