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. |
Community Kitchen vendors receive:
A 10'X10' booth located in a prominent place along the festival midway, with lighting, 8' of counter space and grease mats
Access to the refrigeration and freezer truck, electricity and water
