In the Kitchen

Our free meal program serves over 4,000 meals each month.

Food Donations

Food donations are accepted during the following hours. Please note that if a donation arrives during a mealtime, it will take longer for Kitchen Staff to assist with the donation while we prioritize serving the meal.

  • 7AM – 6PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
  • 7AM – 12:30PM Wednesday

Please ensure all donated items are sealed, have been stored at safe temperatures, and have not passed their expiration date.

If you have questions, please email Clarissa or call the kitchen directly at (563)291-6173. We will do our best to respond promptly to phone calls and emails regarding potential donations. Thank you for your understanding.
