TPPC's Community Kitchen doubles its storage space
Most small-scale food businesses don’t have the capital to invest in their own production facilities, and rental costs at the handful of available commercial kitchens in the DC area are high. Crossroads Community Food Network’s shared-use Takoma Park Silver Spring Community Kitchen located in TPPC provides much-needed affordable food prep and storage space to local food producers.
Local Resources to Aid Refugees
Maryland is one of the top state hosts of Afghan refugees, and there are many local agencies serving refugees in the DMV. These are just some of the many groups pitching in to help our newest residents create safe homes.
