• OUR Approach

Together, we can change the way we address hunger in our city.

Our work and our mission changes lives and have a lasting impact on our community.

When we dare to enter the mess of each other’s lives through community, a transformation starts to occur within our hearts, our neighborhoods, and the city at-large.  

 
  • We go deep into each other’s lives.

We welcome all people to journey deeper with us, to be involved, and discover new growth within themselves and one another.

THOUSANDS gain access to resources, improve their social supports and community belonging.

HUNDREDS increase volunteer leadership, community ownership, and empathy.

DOZENS activate as community leaders, transformed to bring healing and stability to others while advocating for systems change.

The journey looks different for each of us.

Whether someone from our neighborhood comes once, or comes a thousand times, our programs and wholistic approach have a tremendous impact on lives in our community - shopper, donor, and volunteer alike.

    Our new model

A Catalyst for Change

This new approach is a dynamic response to our community’s desire for deeper kinship, greater wellness programming, and expanded support to advocate for housing and employment stability. It empowers residents to create nourishment, belonging, and prosperity in low-income communities through the power of food. It draws people from all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds into a deeper community of mutuality. 

Developed alongside a growing network of innovative hunger organizations across the United States and Canada, our model addresses the wellness of a community by using food as an entry point for change. 

At Kinship Community Food Center, the relationships that happen around food have the power to transform our lives as individuals and as a community. 

Only around a common table can we begin to dissolve the barriers that divide our city as we seek lasting, sustainable ways of helping one another flourish in both body and spirit.
