Volume #4
August – September 2025
Mark September 10 at 3 p.m. We will meet for a short volunteer meeting in the Prado Dinning room. This is an opportunity to learn “the latest”, meet other serving groups and bring your idea
People's Kitchen has had a busy summer so far. Thanks to your hard work and generosity, we have served 3,401 first-time meals in May and 3,155 in June. We are on track for another busy July. We anticipate our numbers will remain high as social support programs experience funding cuts.
Thank you to all the groups who shifted to serve in the dining room as the kitchen floor was being resurfaced. The project was required by the Public Health Department, which gave the Prado kitchen stellar marks in their most recent visit.
Prado is funded by CAPSLO which is a non profit. People’s Kitchen serves at Prado but we are a separate non – profit.
We continue to fund raise for our paper goods and supplies for meals served by the PK board. We recently received a $250 donation from Costco that will buy food for the August 31st meal our board members will serve. If you are in need of financial support to round out your meal as grocery prices rise, please contact Mary or a member of the PK board.
Thank you again for your ongoing support for community members in need!
There are so many groups with amazing stories of their service. Share your story with us by emailing Mary Parker at mnparker539@gmail.com.
