Sustainable Flatbush, Brooklyn Jubilee Host Community Meal

Sustainable Flatbush and Brooklyn Jubilee will host a free community meal Saturday at noon at the Flatbush Reformed Church.

Food will be prepared by chef David Cohen along with volunteers from Sustainable Flatbush and Brooklyn Jubilee. The menu will include bean stew with jamaican pumpkin and coconut; brown rice and quinoa with scallion and ginger; summer tomato and basil salad; and summer bery and peach bake. 

"In addition, there will be a dietician on hand to help us learn how healthy eating can greatly improve our health and well-being," Sustainable Flatbush's website notes. "There will also be an opportunity to receive free advice from Brooklyn Jubilee staff and volunteers on food stamps, health insurance, and other legal issues."

The group will be composting all food scraps from the meal to reduce waste and create healthy soil for the gardening projects.

The Flatbush Reformed Church, specifically the Recreation Hall, is located at East 21 Street at Kenmore Terrace. 

Be sure to bring your containers, as there will be extra food to take away!
