The Kitchen

Hornby Island community kitchen, The Kitchen, has a simple goal:  we provide opportunities for all Hornby Islanders to come together to share food, build connections between all ages and socio-economic groups, and to celebrate community.

Hot Meal Program: Tuesdays & Fridays 12:30-1:00pm @ Joe King BallPark – all year

The Kitchen offers tasty, nutritious meals prepared and served by cooks and volunteers with ‘FoodSafe’ training. The service is financed by food and money donations from the island community, and support the Comox Valley Community Foundation.

The Hot Meal Program

  • Educates about health, food security and social issues.
  • Helps break the isolation of many people – singles, seniors, single parents, people with chronic illness, disabilities or mental health issues.
  • Offers opportunities for anyone to become involved, try new things, find their niche, and make a contribution.
  • Serves free meals & delivers nourishing meals to those unable to get to The Kitchen through our Home Delivery Program
Home Meal Delivery Program

This community service is open to anyone in need of physical assistance in receiving nourishing meals and who may be experiencing financial hardship. The service operates out of the Kitchen & relies on participant donation for support…..which has always been generous and keeps the program afloat financially!

This program really grew out of Year 1 of the COVID pandemic, when many of our elders were isolated and needed help.  Since that time, the need has remained and grown…

– meals are delivered by our faithful volunteer

– we continue to welcome new clients 🙂

– clients of the Home Meal Delivery Program are on a regular weekly order for meals: any changes to a person’s standing order needs to be conveyed to the Kitchen (via our delivery person) by the Friday of each week please!

 – participants may cancel their order when the service is no longer desired.  And anyone can return to the program at any time.
