HONEY BUTTER STEAK DAY at 740 Rescue Kitchen!

Our interns and volunteers are working HARD today! ❤️ They’re busy getting our Honey Butter Steak & Roasted Veggies packaged up and ready to head out to the families and communities we serve.

And today is extra exciting because we’re putting our new packaging machine to work! Watching our team learn, adapt, and keep the meals moving has been pretty awesome.

Every meal that leaves our kitchen represents a whole team of people behind it — our staff, interns, volunteers, partners, and supporters — all working together to make sure good food gets where it’s needed most.

So, a BIG shoutout to everyone putting in the work today!

Honey Butter Steak + Roasted Veggies coming off the line!

🍅 Look what we’re doing with hundreds of pounds of fresh tomatoes! 🍅

Nothing goes to waste when it can become something delicious. Our kitchen is busy transforming hundreds of pounds of fresh, locally sourced tomatoes into homemade marinara sauce from scratch.

Every pot is made with simple, fresh ingredients and a whole lot of care. This marinara will be used in nutritious meals that help feed families throughout our community—turning surplus produce into something truly meaningful.

Fresh ingredients. Full hearts. Stronger communities. ❤️
