Member churches and other organizations ask their members to skip a meal and to donate the cost of that skipped meal to the Community Kitchen.
This fund raiser has taken different forms, but has been the main fund raiser for the Kitchen for many years.
The Kitchen has received national recognition as a model for a local non profit organization. It was originally started in 1982 as a feeding program. There were 7 downtown churches that partnered to meet a growing need in Chattanooga.
The Kitchen has its own blog. You can stay current on needs and on offerings by checking updates here.
The main program is to provide food 365 days a year:
- Breakfast 7:00am to 8:00am seven days a week
- Lunch 11:00am to 11:45am seven days a week
- Dinner 4:00pm to 4:45pm weekdays
Other programs focuson employment, shelter, counseling. A big help for many homeless is that the Kitchen provides a place for basic, essential services like bathrooms and showers, telephones, mail, washers and driers, and more.
The Community Kitchen is well known and well respected in Chattanooga because of its long service to the needs of our community.
