Share a free meal with neighbours, prepared by a neighbour. Last year, almost 200 people participated in over a dozen spaghetti nights and at the community-wide celebration.
Our next DISN is on November 25. Open to all, this drop-in hosted by Tiva is aimed at neighbours living within 2-3 blocks of York and Larch.
There's room for 12 people. Now Full. The 8th in a series of 12 plus neighbourhood Drop-in "Spaghetti" Nights hosted by different Kits Villagers and other VVers around Kits and the Westside over the next few months, plus the community-wide celebration at St. Marks on November 7th. Hosts will provide the meal and track where the ingredients come from, and we'll collate how local our eating habits are and how spaghetti night are helping connect neighbours at the community gathering.
Much of the food will be grown and sourced locally, including from the Kits Village Collaborative Garden and (previously) from the Thursday Westside Community Food Market. Hosts who want to "grow their own DISN dinner" can obtain free seeds from the KV Seed library, and then can recycle any plastic containers at the monthly Kits Village Plastic Recycling Depots, and compost the food scraps at the KV garden or take them to one of our weekly food scrap drops spots.
By the way, they’re called Drop-in “Spaghetti” nights, because many of the ones we've held in the past have involved serving spaghetti, but they can really involve any foods - for instance, Drop-in Rutabaga Night.
If you live on the Westside and would like to participate or host a DISN, please RSVP here or send your name and cross-streets to Ross at ross@villagevancouver.ca.
