Our Volunteers
The meals are prepared by local volunteers who are the real strength of The Community Kitchen.
These volunteers are from local and area religious denominations, community service organizations, junior high
and senior high school classes, youth groups, and local businesses. Our volunteers represent all levels of economic
and social strata in our communities, and are a true 'cross section' of sincere concern and
caring for our clients.
We are so grateful to all of the volunteers who generously devoted valuable time and energy to our organization. Each individual's contribution has had a direct impact on our site and has helped shape The Community Kitchen.
