La Cantina
The kitchen is the heart of any Home, and it is just as true in the Desert. At Elsewhere La Cantina is the kitchen that feeds volunteers. It is one of the first project on site, and one of the last to finish. sign up here if you enjoy feeding people and making a home for volunteers
Cantina feeds the general volunteers and Fluff help them survive in the heat.
Cantina is built at the beginning of the event's Set up period. So the first cantina people arrive 3 weeks before the event. We wake earlier than the builders and go to sleep later. But we get the smiles and first pick in food. Fluffers fluff around taking care of all the dehydrated hippies.
During the event it's a never ending cooking workshop where we serve two meals (lunch and dinner) for 120 serving each.
Then we manage donation and leftovers during strike to feed the brave last volunteers that stayed to take down the whole thing.
