Community Kitchen
Johnstown-area non-profits and churches are invited to participate in the Community Kitchen at FolkFest! Through this initiative, local non-profit organizations and churches are provided with a booth to vend food and drinks without paying a booth fee (a $500 value). As in previous years, the Community Kitchen booths will be located in a prominent area on the festival midway. JAHA promotes Community Kitchen participants on this Web site, the FolkFest program, and through media relations efforts. Participating in the Community Kitchen is a great way to raise money while also publicizing your organization and its mission.
As of early August, the following organizations have committed to be part of our Community Kitchen at FolkFest 2008: Beulah United Methodist Church - pigs in a blanket, halushki, pierogies Ferndale Hockey Club - hot dogs, hamburgers, stromboli, nachos & cheese Memorial Baptist Church - gob cake St. John Gualbert Cathedral - pulled pork sandwiches St. John the Baptist Russian Orthodox Church & St. Sophia's Orthodox School - pagach
JAHA encourages you to support these fine organizations. To inquire about the Community Kitchen, please contact Shelley Johansson at 814-539-1889 x 308.
