“Our whole goal is independence for our clients and helping them become part of the community,” said Connauton. “The kitchen program pays for itself.”
Every day the kitchen also prepares about 65 hot and nutritionally balanced meals, for the Salvation Army. The ingredients are supplied by Medicine Hat Food Bank.
CORE’s kitchen also supplies food platters to organizations such as Red Cross and Community Foundation.
Overseeing the whole operation, in a kitchen that is not that much bigger than a large home kitchen, including overseeing volunteers, is whizz-in-the-kitchen Claudette Haase, supervisor, who talks excitedly about it all.
Nicole Boser chops celery in the kitchen at CORE Association. Many of the clients at CORE help in the kitchen by chopping vegetables, washing dishes, and making sandwiches.

Mason Kreutzer fills the coffee machine in the lunchroom at CORE Association.
“It’s busy and you’ve got to be well organized,” said Haase. “We’re working with five pounds of tomatoes, 20 loaves of bread and 20 pounds of onions every week.”
Fitzsimmons would like to see a bigger kitchen. Haase would at least like more shelves but Connauton talks about a separate building.
He’d like a separate facility for the kitchen within easy walking distance from the CORE office. Ideally the kitchen would also have room for tables and seating just like a restaurant. That concept has them all excited and animated.
“That would be the dream,” said Fitzsimmons. “Having it in a separate building would enhance the whole learning experience for the volunteers.”
COREs clients/volunteers would be able to treat their contribution to the kitchen like a real job, she says. They’d spend time at CORE and then it would feel as though they were going off to work if they walked a short distance to another facility. They’d benefit from practising being waiters to the public too.
For the general public it would also be an invaluable experience.
“The community would interact with the volunteers and really learn about the ‘ability’ of the person with a disability,” said Fitzsimmons.
Connauton agrees and says they see the abilities of their clients on a daily basis and giving the public an opportunity to do the same would have enormous ramifications for the community. ■
