Gente é pra brilhar, não pra morrer de fome: anteprojeto de cozinha comunitária popular.

Abstract

Community Kitchens (CCs) aim at distributing meals to people in socially vulnerable situations. In Brazil, the equipment gained prominence as a mechanism to fight hunger and maintain the rights of access to food and nutrition security from the beginning of the 2000s. In Campina Grande - PB, the CCs were negatively affected and their units were deactivated. Faced with the worsening of hunger, driven by an economic and health crisis, the social movements, together with the community in the Jeremias neighborhood, occupied the local community kitchen structure and started to produce and distribute free food to its population. Offering more than 800 daily meals produced in an environment deficient for the molds of a CC and for the quantity of food supplied, the cooperation between the individuals responsible for the activities in the unit ensured the functioning of the equipment. The present work then aims to develop the preliminary project of a popular community kitchen for the Jeremias neighborhood, in Campina Grande-PB, as an alternative to the current structure, aimed at the community, with a management of cooperation between this and social movements, contemplating your spatial needs. For this, the work was divided into four stages: historical and documental recovery about the CCs, correlated studies, preliminary studies and, finally, the project proposal.
