Freedom First Credit Union announced awards of $35,000 in community grants to eight local nonprofits in the Roanoke and New River Valleys and Live Work Eat Gather was pleased to be one of them. Grant funding will support the Millstone Kitchen, a shared-use commercial kitchen located in the old school center of the Prices Fork Elementary School. Half of the old kindergarten space has been converted into kitchen space rentable hourly by food business entrepreneurs, such as caterers, bakers, value-added farmers and food trucks.
