Positive Community Kitchen Positive Community Kitchen is a Eugene/Springfield based non-profit providing free healthy meals to people with life threatening illnesses.

This program is based on an award winning model in Northern California that is replicating itself around the country (see ceresproject.org). Thousands of teens have already been trained in this model and the program has proven to increase participants skills, self confidence and feelings of belonging – while also making a difference in the well-being of the food recipients. Teens can earn community service/ volunteer hours for their work at Positive Community Kitchen. They will be required to have an Oregon Food Handlers Card.

Meet the Positive Community Kitchen team, our Chef and Culinary Coordinator, Katie!

Originally from Boston, Katie was a professional ballet dancer before turning her sights to the culinary world. Katie found herself working as a Pastry Chef in restaurants; however, when the 2020 lockdowns happened, she wanted to broaden her path to include a focus on health/nutrition education and community involvement. Katie took a job at a small lunch and ice cream restaurant in Maine, leading a team of all high school students for 3 years. Knowing she wanted to continue to mentor youth and feeling inspired by a beautiful trip to the PNW, she found her place with Positive Community Kitchen in May of 2024.

Katie feels that the vegetable that matches her essence is a parsnip! They are slow to germinate and grow and can pair well with both sweet and savory dishes. While happiest in a supporting role to make a dish taste great, they occasionally can step up to the spotlight and make a delicious dish on their own. Parsnip puree is a Thanksgiving tradition in Katie's family, and she has many fond memories of making spring dug parsnip and maple cakes as dessert!

When it comes to Katie's favorite thing about working at PCK? She struggled to pick just one but ultimately said our volunteers. "We have the BEST volunteers! It is fun and satisfying to see eyes light up when volunteers learn about the food they are cooking or to realize just how great an impact they can have on the life of a stranger." Katie also mentioned enjoying the fun puzzle of menu planning each week and how the food we create helps people in our community. Lastly, Katie said, "Empowering the youth to actively spread positivity in our community is what truly inspires me."

Thank you, Katie, for all you do for PCK!

Did you know that peaches and nectarines are nearly biologically identical? The only difference is nectarines have a recessive gene that allows them to grow without the classic peach fuzz. Now you do!

What is your favorite way to enjoy a peach? 🍑
