Q: Are you currently serving dinners?
A. Yes. Due to Covid, KPCK is providing to-go meals via curbside service beginning at 5 pm and until our meals run out.
Please see our homepage or our Facebook page for
more information on where, how & other important details.
Q. How much does a meal cost?
A. Nothing. Our dinners are free and open to the entire
community. We are not serving meals solely to the
underprivileged. The only requirement for attending our
meals are that you enjoy sharing good food with good
people!
Q. How do I get a meal ticket?
A. When we're serving in-person meals a volunteer will hand out tickets at the dinner, at the front door (only).
Q. Where are the dinners held?
A. The First Baptist Church at 169 S. Cherry Street has
graciously allowed us to cook & serve our dinners there. Please enter through the front door (unless
you're volunteering & then we ask you please use the
back door).
Q. What time do the dinners start?
A. With the exception of November & December, dinners
begin at 5 pm and go until the dinners run out. They're held every 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month.
Q. Do I have to be of a certain religious faith to attend or
volunteer at the dinners?
A. We welcome & invite everyone. We aren't religiously
affiliated and none is required to attend or volunteer at
our dinners.
Q. I have a friend/parent/child who can't come to the
dinner. Can I get a ticket to take a dinner to them?
A. In an effort to be fair to those who attend our
dinners, we allow just one ticket per person. However,
at the end of the evening, if we have more food than
attendees, diners are welcome to take additional meals
home.
Q. Can my family come to the dinners?
A. Absolutely! It's our hope that our dinners bring families, friends, co-workers, individuals, neighbors & "just haven't met you yets" together at the dinner table to enjoy delicious food, friendly faces and good conversation.
Q. Can I pay for my meal if I want to?
A. Well...no & yes. While we don't take any
money in exchange for a meal ticket, we do accept free
will donations (donation boxes are located inside the
dining room).
Q. How can I sign up to volunteer?
A. We encourage anyone who would like to volunteer --
individuals, groups, couples, organizations - to use

better. If you click on the "Volunteer" tab at the
