Lloydminster and Vermillion for Equity (LVE) is making a community cookbook and welcomes everyone to get involved.
They also want to include memories and stories tied to the recipes. Brittney Falcon Bouchard is a volunteer and board member who helps with operations and coordination for the organization.
“We really want this to be a community project to network and get everybody involved, regardless of their walk of life,” said Bouchard.
The LVE Street Team serves the unhoused community and provides mutual aid through various services.
“We serve mainly the unhoused community, but also anyone in the community who needs assistance through mutual aid,” said Bouchard.
The foundation started in 2020 by handing out water bottles and has grown.
They now provide hot meals, harm reduction, hygiene items, clothing and showers twice a week.
“The funds will go towards food that we buy to cook the meals and hygiene items. We generally get clothing donated, but socks and underwear are big items that we generally must buy too,” said Bouchard.
The cookbook is a fundraiser to support their community efforts, including buying food, hygiene items, and other supplies.
“We also want to get as many recipes from as many different cultures as well to show the vast variety of our community,” said Bouchard.
The project aims to collect recipes by Aug. 26 and complete the cookbook before Christmas.
The preferred method to send in recipes would be to email them to Brittney at brittney@lvefoundation.com or message the LVE Facebook Page facebook.com/lloydminstervermilionforequityevents.
