The WCB runs a Health Department certified commercial kitchen. The kitchen is available for rental to caterers and small scale food processors, as well as for food preparation for events which take place in the building.

The kitchen features a six-burner range with ovens and griddle, and a separate convection oven. Bakers will find the baking table, floor model mixer and proofing/holding cabinet useful, while those with bottled products will want to use the table top and floor model steam kettles. Two commercial sized refrigerators and a separate freezer are also available.

The kitchen houses a high capacity commercial dishwasher; dishes and flatware are available for use at events in the building.
