Calling all Winooski residents! We're providing free meals (first come, first serve up to fifty folx*) as a way of replacing the Winooski Partnership for Prevention community dinners that usually happen monthly.
Take-away Wednesdays for the rest of 2020 are outlined below. Pick-up will occur between 4PM and 6PM at the O'Brien Community Center. If you'd like to reserve a meal for one of the following Take-Away Wednesdays, please reach out to Jane at jhenderson@winooskiprevention.org.
Wednesday, November 18th: The menu for this take-away represents the traditional cooking of Jilib, Somalia, a town that has long served as a way station along the route from Mogadishu to Kismayo. The food is being prepared by Said Bulle, who grew up in Jilib until he was 11 years old. He then spent 5 years in a refugee camp in Kenya with his uncle, and finally moved to Burlington 15 years ago, where he now lives with his wife and three kids. You may also know Said as Jilib from A2VT and as the owner of Jilib's Giblets.
Wednesday, December 9th: The menu for this take-away will be prepared by Sherpa Foods (https://sherpafoodsusa.com/), a gift of traditional Nepalese delicacy from a Himalayan state to The Green Mountain State.
Hope to see you!
Thanks,
Winooski Partnership for Prevention
