✨ Exciting News for Downtown Salina! ✨
The Temple is thrilled to announce that our Innovation Kitchen – More Than a Kitchen project has been selected for funding through the Kansas Department of Agriculture Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Grant and the Greater Salina Community Foundation Capacity Building Grant! 🎉
This funding allows us to make major upgrades to our 1,500-square-foot commercial kitchen, including:
🍳 All new appliances
🎨 Fresh paint
🧼 A brand-new epoxy floor
These improvements will transform the space into a modern, safe, and professional kitchen that supports local farmers, food entrepreneurs, small businesses, and community education.
But we’re not done yet! 💡 We’re seeking additional donations to help with lighting and electrical upgrades so we can fully unlock this kitchen’s potential for central Kansas.
Interested in supporting this project? Please contact Executive Director Mary Landes to learn how you can help.
Thank you for being part of The Temple’s mission to grow community, creativity, and opportunity in Salina ❤️
