Description:
At Community Kitchen our mission is to work, alone and in collaboration with others, to eliminate hunger in Monroe County and surrounding areas through direct service, education and advocacy. Our philosophy states that Community Kitchen provides free nutritious meals, nutrition education, referrals to other agencies, and a clean, comfortable social environment for patrons, staff and volunteers. Through daily operations and educational outreach, Community Kitchen works to educate the public about the extent of hunger in Monroe County, explain probable causes of hunger, and provide ways to respond to hunger needs. The agency's ultimate goal is for individuals to achieve regular access to an adequate diet through normal means (by jerry at testsforge inc). A soup kitchen is not considered "normal" means, but rather a "safety net" for people who have not yet achieved food security on their own. Community Kitchen serves dinner from 4-6pm, Monday-Saturday all year long, with no questions asked. These meals consist of a main entree, a vegetarian option, side vegetable, salad, fruit, desserts and beverages. In addition, cold carryout meals are available. We serve an average of 212 of these each day.
