We believe sharing food is so much more than nutrition — it’s about connection.
We began our Kingston Cares Community Meal in June 2018 as a way of strengthening our relationships with friends and neighbors.
Every month, we partner with a host: a community organization, local group or business to provide incredible volunteer power through prep cooks, servers and clean up crew to serve 150-200 meals for dine-in and to-go guests.
We operate this program entirely free to diners through a donation-optional model, that way
everyone is welcome at the table.

Want to support the Community Meal?
Host
Sign up to have your local community group or business provide 8-12 volunteers to plan a meal, shop, cook, serve and clean-up. We’ve had groups of all ages, abilities and experience levels host these fun and energetic events — we’d love to hear from you, answer your questions and offer you support in becoming a host!
Volunteer
You can jump in and back up our hosts by becoming a Kingston Cares Community Meal volunteer by cooking, serving or cleaning up. It’s a great way to connect with an enthusiastic crew and get to know other folks who care about food & community.
Donate
We want to eliminate barriers to participation, so our Kingston Cares Community Meal is donation-optional for both diners and hosts. Each nutritious meal costs around $2.50, so your donation of just $10 can sponsor a family of 4. A $20 donation sponsors a table of 8 seniors. Or make a huge impact and become a full meal sponsor for a gift of $600.
We love our incredible volunteers and hosts!
