Front Street Community Oven

That’s a wrap! (and a pizza …)
 
On October 31st, the Front Street Community Oven hosted its last weekly cookout for the season. The Thursday cookouts were truly community events, where people from all walks of life cooked together at the outdoor oven and ate together at common tables in Robie Tufts Park. Menus varied from pita & salads, to fruit crumble & local cheeses, to the ever-popular pizza, with some food provided by The Oven and other offerings shared potluck-style.
 
The Oven is a dynamic community organization that relies on volunteers, donations, and sponsorships (plus two paid staff members) to nourish 60-100 people at each of the free weekly cookouts between June and October. This year, St. John’s partnered with The Oven to access $12,500 in funding from The Windsor Foundation, allowing us to sponsor four cookouts and grow our own community connections here in Wolfville.
 
It was a joy be amongst the seniors and singles, families and students, unhoused folks and newcomers all eating together! At The Oven, all are nourished in body and spirit, as together we build a neighbourhood where all may belong.
