The Friendly Kitchen

The Friendly Kitchen, Concord’s only soup kitchen, has been a staple in the city for over 40 years feeding those less fortunate. Recognizing that we were not serving many families at our facility and we needed to do more to reach families and seniors struggling with food insecurity we created our Family Friendly Meal Program. We know there are many families unable to come to the Friendly Kitchen to receive a meal, that is why for the first time we are bringing the meals to them!

The Friendly Kitchen seeks to provide a meal for the hungry in a warm and caring, non-discriminating environment through the coordination of community volunteer resources. The Friendly Kitchen has one purpose - to feed the hungry. Anyone who comes to our door is welcome - without question or qualification. Since The Friendly Kitchen first began in 1980, it has served over 750,000 meals and has seen a steady increase in guests from year to year.
