In the Summer of 2021, the Community Environmental Council transferred the convening and coordination of the Community Kitchens Working Group to SBCFAN. Working Group membership expanded to a broad range of lived and learned experience to inform and address identified needs for community kitchen activation: St. Mark’s in-the-Valley, Veggie Rescue, CEC, Allan Hancock College, County of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Middle School, Isla Vista Youth Projects, Blue Sky Center, and Foodbank of Santa Barbara County.
