Can-Do Kitchen needs your gadgets

Cleaning out the kitchen and contributing to the Can-Do Kitchen has to be the definition of a win-win, right?
From now until May 2, the
Can-Do Kitchen
is collecting kitchen gadgets to sell at its third annual Kitchen Gadget Garage Sale.
"If you have spring fever, are about to throw open the storm windows, and clean out your cupboards, look no further," says Lucy Dilley, program manager. "You can donate your kitchen utensils, gadgets, and tools to the Can-Do Kitchen and forget about trying to organize that garage sale that never seems to happen."
Funky, gently used or new utensils, bowls, pots, pans, small appliances, cookbooks, dishes, glasses, and linens are all the kinds of gadgets needed for the sale. Upscale items are appreciated and will be priced to get more bang-for-the-fundraising-buck.
Gadgets are being collected in three locations: at the Can-Do Kitchen, 511 Harrison, from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday; Beer & Skittles, 1912 Whites Road; and the new Sarkozy's bakery, 350 E. Michigan.
Marked bins are available in each location.
The Can-Do Kitchen, is a food business incubator and commercial kitchen that creates a low-risk environment in which entrepreneurs can test products and find out if they are committed to business ownership.
The program is currently working with seven new entrepreneurs who received scholarships to assist them in bringing new local products to the marketplace. The facility is also available by rent for cooking classes.
Since 2008, the Can-Do Kitchen, a program of
Fair Food Matters,
has supported more than 75 small food businesses and increased the availability of foods made locally with local ingredients.
