The Feed Our Future program delivered over 26,000 at-risk children in 1998. The summer breakfast delivery program provides an extra source of nutrition to low-income children who are without the school breakfast and lunch programs during the summer months. Morning deliveries are made to area low-income housing projects. Health professionals from Public Health Nursing Association are present each Tuesday during meal time. Representatives offer screenings and provide health information and referrals.
Services are confidential and free.
Monroe County Cooperative Extension Service presents a nutrition-related workshop one time per month at Community Kitchen.

In 1998, volunteers logged over 7,600 hours of volunteer service. Throughout the day, volunteers donate their time in virtually all aspects of the agency including food preparation, serving, cleanup, administrative assistance, and many other tasks.
