Mission
PROVIDING FOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HUNGRY, CONVERSATION FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LONELY, REST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING, AND A VOICE FOR PEOPLE IN NEED.
Program accomplishments
- EVERY SINGLE DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, MORE THAN 160 INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING CHILDREN, RELY ON THE COMMUNITY KITCHEN FOR A HOT, NUTRITIOUS MEAL AND A SAFE PLACE TO BELONG. BECAUSE WE ARE LOW-BARRIER, NO DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED, AND OPEN DAILY, WE ARE OFTEN THE FIRST PLACE AN INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY TURNS TO WHEN THEY FIND THEMSELVES WITHOUT ENOUGH FOOD. FOR SOME, THIS NEED ARISES SUDDENLY DUE TO JOB LOSS, A REDUCTION IN BENEFITS, OR AN UNEXPECTED ADDITION TO THE HOUSEHOLD. FOR OTHERS, IT MAY BE TIED TO ONGOING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.ONCE PEOPLE ENGAGE WITH OUR SERVICES, WE WORK TO CONNECT THEM WITH LONGER-TERM SUPPORT. FOR SOME, THE KITCHEN IS A TEMPORARY LIFELINE UNTIL STABILITY IS RESTORED. FOR OTHERS, SUCH AS ELDERLY OR DISABLED GUESTS, IT REMAINS A CONSISTENT SOURCE OF BOTH NOURISHMENT AND COMMUNITY.OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO ENSURE PEOPLE HAVE THE FOOD THEY NEED TO SURVIVE TODAY, WHILE OFFERING THAT FOOD IN A WAY THAT FOSTERS DIGNITY AND HUMAN CONNECTION. OUR LONGER-TERM VISION IS TO HELP GUESTS ACCESS PATHWAYS TO STABILITY, REDUCING THE NEED FOR EMERGENCY FOOD SERVICES IN THE FUTURE.IN 2025, THE COMMUNITY KITCHEN SERVED APPROXIMATELY 1469 UNDUPLICATED GUESTS EACH MONTH, ANTICIPATING OVER 173,000 MEALS TO HELP MEET THEIR FOOD GOALS. NEARLY HALF OF THESE GUESTS WILL ALSO BE CONNECTED TO OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY, 4,000 MEALS WILL BE PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS FACING MOBILITY OR TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS. WITHOUT THE KITCHEN, NEARLY 70% OF GUESTS REPORT THEY WOULD SKIP MEALS, AND 18% WOULD DILUTE THEIR FOOD TO MAKE IT LAST LONGER. BY OFFERING FREE, NUTRITIOUS MEALS, THE KITCHEN ENSURES THAT NO ONE IN THE COMMUNITY GOES WITHOUT FOOD, FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION.Expenses $490,952
