The mission of the

Southside Community Kitchen

To provide well-balanced, nourishing meals to the hungry people of Lansing in a caring, dignified environment where they are reassured of their worth as God’s unique works of creation.

The Southside Community Kitchen is a non-profit 501(c)(3)organization in Lansing, Michigan, supported by over 35 area churches and directed by an all-volunteer board of directors.

The Southside Community Kitchen first opened its doors to feed Lansing’s hungry children and adults on August 26, 1987.  Each year, we serve about 10,000 meals.  We have four dedicated part-time paid employees and an all-volunteer Board of Directors.  In addition, over 100 volunteers work nearly 3,500 hours per year to help prepare and serve meals at the Kitchen and to sort food at the Red Cross.

       The Southside Community Kitchen:

• Serves meals on a reliable schedule, with no cost or prerequisite requirements for our guests.
• Provides a place where people are served with kindness and respect.
• Offers a safe and nurturing environment.

       Each meal served at the Southside Community Kitchen consists of 4 ounces of meat; a serving of fruit and a serving of a vegetable; a serving of a bread, potato, or grain; a dessert; and 8 ounces of milk.

With your help, fewer people in our community will go hungry.  To make a tax-deductible contribution to the Southside Community Kitchen, please make your check payable to “Southside Community Kitchen” and mail to:
