Since 2012
Rumi's Kitchen
Our longest-running project. We tackle food insecurity and food waste serving nutritious, hot food, but really we're serving good conversation to anyone feeling lonely or isolated. No referrals, no questions, just a plate and a seat.

After years of borrowed kitchens and church halls, Rumi's Kitchen got a home of its own a standalone building on Craven Park Road, built for one purpose: getting a hot meal in front of anyone who needs one.

The building
Not everyone who needs us can get to us. The Rumi's Kitchen van takes hot food out to where people actually are a second kitchen, just one that moves.

Out of respect for our guests' privacy, we're careful about photographing them directly. We prefer to capture the spirit of the service itself, and only include a guest's face when their joy is one they're happy to share.
