We are so proud to support the Backpack Buddies mission of Community Kitchen, and think everyone should know about the way they continue their important work through the summer!

In the 28 years Community Kitchen has been providing summer meals to children, we have served 386,531 meals to children in low-income neighborhoods when they're away from schools meals for the summer!

We appreciate the way other agencies start niche programs to help meet the needs of families. While new things sometimes get the limelight, we just want to remind you that we're still here, still providing healthy weekday lunches all summer, from the 1st day out of school through the last day before they go back. Lunches include proteins, grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and milk. One of our routes serves sack lunches while the other (food truck) route serves a warm lunch meal.

Since Thursday is the last day of school, our service starts on Friday at the following times and locations. We're currently signing up volunteers for our lunch prep shift, 730-930am, and our delivery shift 10am-1pm. You can sign up by calling June at 812-332-0999.
