Kinship Community Food Center

Our Mission

Kinship Community Food Center is a community food center that 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 Approach

Organizations providing direct service to those most marginalized inadvertently set clear dividing lines between “givers and receivers”. This unconsciously promotes division, unequal status, and disempowerment. Our approach is that no one is so deprived that they have nothing to give and no one is so well-off that they no longer have needs. In our “Community of Generosity” our neighborhood residents and visiting volunteers grow together to discover their gift to give and gift to receive.
