WHY IS THE ANNUAL OPEN KITCHEN FOOD DRIVE SO IMPORTANT?


Once a year, we ask for the community’s support in providing nutritious ingredients, so we can cook healthy and delicious meals for our ever-growing Open Kitchen family. We rely on the generosity of our Redmond neighbors and their connections across the world to help us build a safe space where bodies and souls are fed, friendships bloom, and dignity is preserved. Open Kitchen is a place where anyone is welcome, just as they are! The work of Open Kitchen – to nourish, love, and dignify – is the work of every human being. We welcome YOU to the OK community!
