Our Culinary Futures students had the opportunity to join and Master Gardener Phillip to learn about planting and harvesting our own food.
The students spent the morning harvesting fruits and vegetables from the garden. They will now take the produce back to the kitchen where will teach them how to prepare and feed our community.
You can always join us for lunch at 750 Paseo from 12:00 noon - 3:00.

Thank you for having us and teaching us! 💚

What’s for lunch this week at Nourish KC Community Kitchen.
Every plate at Nourish KC is built around our Healthy Eating Research Community Kitchen Index — balanced protein, whole grains where we can, fresh produce in every meal, and sodium kept in check even when the menu leans bold.
We cook with care because the people we serve deserve nothing less.
Menus may shift with what we receive through recovery, but the standard stays the same.

It's World Hunger Day...so what's one food you wouldn't want to go without? DROP YOURS IN THE COMMENTS!

Good food shouldn't go to waste — and it shouldn't be hard to access.

Through our Food Redistribution Network with Nourish KC Community Kitchen , surplus food from local providers is redirected to families, seniors, and pantry partners across Kansas City instead of going to waste.

That's neighbors helping neighbors. And we're grateful for every partner making it happen.

Summer break is here and as the kiddos are out of school, we will see more and more of them having lunch with us at Nourish KC. We aim to fill the meal gap families are experiencing and need kid friendly donations for our SNAC Center.
stopped by the kitchen to talk about the need: https://www.kctv5.com/2026/05/21/blue-springs-summer-lunch-program-expands-feed-more-kids/

Below is a list of donations most urgently needed as well as a way to donate money. Thank you for helping us fill the gap this summer. 💜💙💚
