The Food Resource and Meal Calendar provides information on organizations and groups in our community that provide hot meals or soups kitchens available to individuals and families.
The Calendar also includes information on fee for service meals (such as Meals on Wheels), local Food Banks and other food related groups such as voucher programs.
In addition, there is information to help individuals and families access Emergency Shelters and Emergency Financial Assistance.
This resource is updated twice a year in May and November.
This update includes a number of changes to the calendar.
Those include a reminder that many of the meal programs close for the summer. Please check to make sure that locations are open before you go as some close for July and August and others only for a short period of time.
Also, check operating times as some of these have changed.
Updated copies of both the Food Resource and Meal Calendar have been released to local agencies.
Additionally, if you are looking for an online version, visit the CK Food Policy Council website at www.letstalkfood-ck.com for ongoing updates.
