Food and fellowship for the body and soul!

Community Kitchen

The mission of Alex's Kitchen is to provide food and fellowship for the body and soul.  We open our doors at 11:30 AM each Monday to provide assistance to persons who may be food insecure.

Our volunteers are very dedicated to helping people and making a bright spot in our guests’ lives.  We continue this ministry thanks to the support of The First Congregational Church, The First Congregational Church Apple Festival Committee, and our many generous and faithful partners.

We feel blessed to be able to continue this mission.
