Food for All
Family Kitchen has been serving anyone who needs nutritious meals in a safe and caring environment since 1986. Just last month their small staff and fleet of volunteers prepared 20,000 meals both served onsite as well as delivered to partner facilities including Lighthouse Navigation Center, Central Oregon Veterans Outreach and Stepping Stone Shelter. Recently, demand for the free meal service has rendered Family Kitchen’s longtime home at Trinity Episcopal Church unsustainable and they will need to relocate. To learn more about Family Kitchen, their history and ways to support visit familykitchen.org.
