A Ministry of Compassion and Wholeness

Community Kitchen


 
What we do

The Community Kitchen serves a hot, nutritious meal from noon to one each day, Monday through Friday.

Who we serve

Old, young and in-between, male and female, families and singles. These are some of the folks who eat lunch at the Community Kitchen of Urban Ministry, Inc.

They come for various reasons: some are disabled, or seniors living on fixed incomes; some are working at low-wage jobs, and some have children who are out of school for the summer. Others may be experiencing unemployment or other temporary setbacks.

Urban Ministry is very pleased that in its twenty-seven year history, every single person who has ever come to the Community Kitchen has been served. In 2010, we served a total of 28,134 meals to 1,825 people.
