NourishKC’s Kansas City Community Kitchen is located on 8th and Paseo, and is a zero-barrier, no questions asked facility that serves free, hot lunch Monday through Friday (inclement weather and weekday holidays included) from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
We believe that it is not enough just to fill bellies; the meals served to our guest should be hot, fresh, and nutritious.
In 2022, NourishKC served 187,918 meals, free of charge. Our meals are created with food that comes from our food rescue program, and in 2022 we rescued 521,706 pounds of usable food and produce from ending up in landfills. Our hope is to serve 202,000 meals in 2023 and to rescue 750,000 pounds of food.
Our food rescue mission is simple yet powerful: to rescue surplus food and transform it into nourishment for those in need.
Make a real impact on the lives of those facing food insecurity by becoming a NourishKC volunteer. From food rescue to meal preparation, your time and compassion can nourish both body and soul. Together, let’s build a future where no one goes hungry, and every act of kindness creates stronger communities. Join us today and give a helping hand to those in need.
