Overview:
•The
Petaluma Kitchen serves a no-cost mid-day meal seven days
a week, 365 days a year for low and very-low income men, women
and children.
•The
Kitchen serves more than 100,000 meals a year using more than
20,000 volunteer hours from community members who come to
cook, serve and clean.
•Much
of the food used at the Kitchen is donated from food drives
and local merchants; most of the purchased food supplies come
in bulk from the local food bank at a mere 20 cents per pound.

In addition to providing nourishment to those in need, staff
at the Kitchen are often the first contact for families or
individuals who need referrals to other community resources,
such as housing, clothing, or medical care.
