Edmonton Tech Wednesdays — Week 49 with Jorgia Krissa-Moore and Janice Krissa Moore, MBA from Ukraine's Kitchen!
This week we will have the co-founders of the first Ukrainian Kitchen in Canada run entirely by newcomers who left the war in Ukraine.
As many of you know, I am from Ukraine and I am also a newcomer to Canada. I found out about Ukraine's Kitchen from co-founder Roman Lakhnyuk when he came to my office (which is not very far away from the current location that Ukraine's Kitchen has) and I was impressed by the cause and the idea to give newcomers jobs and also promote the Ukrainian culture.
"Our story began with a simple idea – helping Ukrainian newcomers who came to Canada to escape a difficult situation back home. We started by giving them things they needed for their new lives.
We're proud to say we're the first Ukrainian Kitchen in Canada, run entirely by people who left Ukraine because of the war. Our goal is simple: we want to share Ukraine's delicious flavors with Canadians and help our newcomers become part of their new home.
Our journey is all about working together, trying new things, and showing that food can bring people closer, no matter where they come from. And with every dish we make, we're writing a chapter in this story of unity and hope."
Come to GRETA Bar at 5:30 PM this Wednesday - February 14th to find out more about Ukraine's Kitchen and how the tech can be integrated with this organization!
