The Kitchen has served our community since 1996. The Community Kitchen believes that everyone deserves access to food. Anyone can come during serving times to get a prepared meal, including those who are unhoused, unable to prepare their own meals due to age or disability, and/or those who do not earn a living wage and are food insecure. Dinner is served in our dining room, or for those who prefer, through our trailer in the parking lot. Sustainable food bags (to-go food sufficient for up to 3 meals) are also available at our trailer. In addition to providing meals at its location, the Kitchen also works with other agencies in the community to ensure people have access to food. Meals are provided to support Salvation Army’s motel respite program, breakfast at the Loveland Resource Center, and at other agencies providing food items. The Kitchen conducts Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) compliant intakes and is part of the city's coordinated efforts to address homelessness.
