The Douglas County Extension Master Food Volunteers are hosting a Kitchen Sale on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at the Flory Meeting Hall on the Douglas County Fairgrounds 2110 Harper St., Lawrence. The sale is from 10:00am-2:00pm.
When providing nutrition education and food preparation classes to individuals and families, our EMFV’s and SNAP-Ed nutrition educators continually receive comments from those on a limited income that they do not have access to the kitchen equipment and supplies needed to prepare basic meals. We are coordinating this Kitchen Sale for three purposes:
- To provide an opportunity for those who are interested in downsizing their kitchen wares to donate them to a worthy and much needed cause.
- To offer kitchen items to anyone at a minimal cost SNAP-Ed class participants may receive a
stipend and first access to all kitchen sale items. - To provide some additional funds to help support educational program costs offered by the
Douglas County Extension Master Food Volunteers.
Donations of kitchen items in good condition are being accepted March 3rd to 31st at Douglas County Extension Office located at 2110 Harper Street from 9:00 am-4:00 p.m.
