Kinship Community Food Center engages volunteers and neighborhood residents to end hunger, isolation, and poverty. Our innovative programs nourish food security and wellness, foster belonging, and community engagement, and empower stability and economic prosperity in our city.

Our Core Concepts

Nourishment

Food has the power to gather individuals into community. A meal is oriented toward communion of soul.

Kinship

Our work is focused on nourishing the body and the soul, so that we might relearn that we belong to each other. Generosity

Human connection, in relationships of mutual vulnerability, can heal us because there are riches in our poverty.

Contemplation

Our compulsion to run from our brokenness necessitates honest silence.

Justice

In stillness we choose to encounter our wounded selves in the presence of boundless love, so that we can foster a healing community that reforms structures

… so that all people might share in the goods of society.
