Faith Family Kitchen
Regularly serving free nutritious meals to our neighbors in Hyannis who are coping with food insecurity.
Providing dinners three evenings a week enables families and individuals to come together in a safe, caring, and respectful environment to enjoy free, nutritious meals.
Thanks to our volunteer congregations, our guests are nourished year-round with both seated and “to go” dinners.
Nourishing
Body & Soul
Faith Family Kitchen, located at Faith Assembly of God Church, Hyannis, is the only place offering regular dinners year round to the mid-Cape community. This neighborhood is home to one of the area’s lowest levels of household income, caused largely by the seasonal nature of the Cape’s economy. 85% of the elementary school students who live in the surrounding area of Faith Family Kitchen qualify for free/reduced fee lunches. Roughly 15% of our guests report that they are working, 40% are unemployed and 35% have disabilities.
Meals are served for free all year, and without regard for religious affiliation.
In addition to providing our guests with nutritious dinners, Faith Family Kitchen creates a caring community by treating men, women and children who are facing food-security issues with respect. The Kitchen’s services assist our local public schools and their personnel, who express such gratitude that their students and families have this safe feeding time.
“Thank you to the Faith Family Kitchen for all that you do and will continue to do. Chef Dan makes the best soups, and they are fresh – not from a can. He really cares about what he does and making good quality meals.”
