Here we try and answer some common questions, if you have more questions feel free to email us.

Why build and not just buy another building?
After having to demolish our 100 year old building, we know what hidden issues lie in old real estate. We have searched the area for a location that would meet our needs. We found in every instance so far the cost to renovate another building up to code for a charity kitchen the cost would be just as much or more than building new. Also with new construction we can ensure the building is fully ADA accessible, energy efficient, and purpose build at a walkable downtown location.

Where do my donations go?
All donations go to support the rebuilding of the sharing kitchen. Checks can be mailed to our P.O. Box, or you can use Zeffy for donations of $1000 or less. Zeffy does not charge us a fee for their service, but may ask you to make a donation to support their operation. This is optional and does not impact the amount you choose to give to the Sharing Kitchen.

What's the hold up?
We understand this has been a lengthy process. We have found out there are many moving parts and hoops to jump through with a big project like this! Thankfully RCM Architects has helped us navigate the rebuilding process and continues to do so. We are hoping to break ground spring of next year, and be open and serving by the following winter.
