Community kitchens are dining initiatives centred on connection. You can eat there for free or at a low cost. We now supply around forty community kitchens and neighbourhood restaurants throughout Nijmegen, ranging from soup in the community centre to a full meal. Examples include Van Tuin tot Bord, Vilanova and Kruispunt, as well as many other places in the neighbourhoods.
We want to introduce the whole of Nijmegen to community kitchens. That’s why we’re setting up the Food Club: a new online platform that shows which community kitchens are in Nijmegen and when they’re open. Places where you can eat together for a low price. Our aim is a Nijmegen where everyone knows where a place at the table is set for them. The Food Club is still new and we’re building it together.

What happens between the moment a leek is pulled from the ground and the day it ends up on someone’s plate? De Gelderlander followed that journey and delved into the story behind the Food Hub.
