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 Open Kitchen community. This year, the kitchen is busy with more chopping, boiling, stirring and prepping than ever – we’re preparing 320 meals each week! For 13 years, the community has sustained the work of feeding bodies and souls; we feel so lucky (and grateful!) to receive every type of gift – from a box of chicken broth to a check in the mail. There are no small gifts!!
