It started out as a soup kitchen in 1983 with a couple dozen volunteers and support from local churches and friends. They served soup to 25 people in a church basement and as time passed and more people came, it was quickly discovered that the soup kitchen's offering was the only daily meal for some of its guests.

Today, 26 years later, The Community Kitchen has become a helpful hand to more than 12,000 men, women and children annually.

The Community Kitchen is about people helping people. We, as human beings, are all on this journey together and we must look out for each other, lend a hand when someone needs one and work collectively toward common goals that bind us together as one.

Donors are the lifeblood of The Community Kitchen, Volunteers, the Heart;
Together, helping one another and those we serve.
