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.
How you can help
Volunteer to serve lunch
Donate needed goods for our food pantry or kitchen
Give money to support our daily operations
Pray that our patrons will find financial stability and wholeness through our ministry
