AARP has given a $20,000 Community Challenge grant to a community kitchen project in Mosier.  Marie Mourou is a chef involved with the community kitchen.  She notes that about 35-percent of Mosier’s population is age 50 or older, and one in three people in the Columbia River Gorge are food insecure.  The plan is to build a community kitchen in the city’s community center to provide space to prepare free weekly meals, plus host a food pantry and some commercial uses.
