Community Garden Kitchen is more than just a meal—it’s a place of hope, connection, and care. Since opening in June 2022, they’ve served over 85,000 meals to individuals and families in need.
With seating for 152 guests, the kitchen serves one meal each evening, Monday through Thursday, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Their mission is made possible by the dedication of 30–35 volunteers daily who keep everything running.
Beyond the meals served in their restaurant-like setting, Community Garden Kitchen has distributed 86 tons of food to local pantries and operates a sack lunch program for day laborers and individuals experiencing homelessness. Every effort ensures neighbors in need are fed with care and respect.
By participating, you’re directly helping sustain this incredible mission and making a meaningful impact in our community.
