Agency/Impact:  The Jeffersonville Community Kitchen provides hot meals six (6) days per week.  We allow anyone who comes to our facility to sit down and eat a nutritious warm meal in a clean and peaceful environment.

We currently serve approximately 200 meals per day, which equates to 62,000 per year.

We recently partnered with The Family Scholar House to offer additional resources information within our community.l

Year Established:  1985

Counties/Regions Served:  We serve anyone who visits The Kitchen without any questions asked.  We believe the majority come from Clark, Floyd counties in IN and some from Jefferson County, KY.

Focus area:  Feed the hungry and collaborate with other agencies who provide services for the needy.

Impact in Community:  We serve over 62,000 hot meals per year. We impact the community with quality nutritious meals six days a week. We also impact the community with our collaborative effort to share information on all resources available to those in need.

Volunteer Opportunities: We welcome volunteers Sunday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. We are in great need to cooks who know how to prepare meals for one large setting.  We also welcome volunteers who are interested inn doing cleaning afterhours, landscaping and other general housekeeping duties.

How 1si members can help your organization:  We are in need of volunteers to cook/serve. Due to serving six days as opposed to our traditional five days, we are in need of financial donations. We also look for pro bono work in the attorney services, accounting, digital marketing services and fundraisig.  We are in constant search for and assistance in the trades such as plumbing, electrical and HVAC.

We are very proud of what we provide at The Community Kitchen.  We have not issed a day since 1985 to include inclement weather and COVID. Each year we create a theme to make The Kitchen a more valuable resource to anyone in our community that needs to be fed.
