About
Community Kitchen started as an effort to feed a hot meal to folks living in Powderhorn Park in summer 2020. Soon after, partnering with First Congregational Church gave us the space to cook a lot more food and get more volunteers safely involved.
A year and 20,000 hot meals later, we're still going strong, thanks to volunteer kitchen workers and delivery drivers. Working with Twin Cities Food Justice and other food-related mutual aid groups has made it possible for us to cook food that's familiar, comforting, and nutritious for less than a dollar a meal. The vast majority of funds raised are to cover things we can't get from food rescue: packaging, silverware, and drinks.
