The Rotary Club of Woodstock has officially had its name associated with the Community Kitchen at South Gate Centre.

WOODSTOCK - It was a special day for the Rotary Club of Woodstock.

The Community Kitchen at South Gate Centre has officially been dedicated as the Rotary Community Kitchen. President Brenda Tait is excited to be a part of the project.

"The Rotary Kitchen is very exciting because it gives community members places to come to use a commercial kitchen."

Secretary Ted Beynen says it made sense to become part of the project because they supported many other projects with the South Gate Centre, and this continued to mesh with the goals and Rotary's bottom line.

"The fact that it brought the community together and then you throw in the food rescue hub, which we're also supporters of, just completely rounded out that package."

Executive Director of South Gate Centre, Chris Cunningham, shares her excitement and thoughts about the partnership.

"It's an initiative and a vision just to bring community together that much more, from small businesses to community caterers to cultural groups that are wanting to use that space, and the list just goes on and on."

Cunningham mentions the Community Kitchen will also help with the Food Rescue Project, and organizations will be able to use the space and turn donated food into meals for those who are in need.
