The Meal Club

As in most cohousing communities, we too have a functioning, lively and enjoyable Meal Club that has some great cooks!

Meal Club participation is not required to live here, it is a volunteer club.

We currently have 8 cook teams (a lead cook and helper) and a clean up crew.

The clean up crew accommodates those who don't cook and those who have schedules that don't allow them the time to cook for the meals during the day. Currently, we have about 30 people in the Meal Club, which is about 85% community member participation.

We do require that to eat meals, you must be on a cook team or a clean up team. We have found that this is the only way to ensure that we have enough people to cook and clean.

The Meal Club generally does 2 meals a week, on Monday and Wednesday nights at 6:15PM. With eight cook teams, this allows for 8 meals a month, so there is an occasional fifth Monday or Wednesday that we do potluck or a cook team may choose to cook twice.

We accommodate both meat eaters and vegetarians, although there are meals that are entirely vegetarian which seems to work for most of us, despite occasional grumbling from the meat-eaters. We do not accommodate other dietary restrictions at this time, but we are open to the possibility. Most of our cooks support local, organic foods that can meet our budget.

The Meal Club is kid friendly, and despite the increase in noise and overall energy level the kids bring, we welcome their exuberance and enthusiasm for the meal club and the food! The kids think of the meal club as a party night and we have found that having the kids do a blessing before the meals tends to calm the energy and they love to be included in the process!

Please join us for a meal, it is a great way to meet people and chat with other members, as well as to see the Meal Club in action. Guest meals are $6 per adult and $3 for kids (kids under 5 are free).
