Hornby Island community kitchen, The Kitchen, has a simple goal: to feed folks who may need some support around healthy eating. We also 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.
The Kitchen provides a hot meal year-round on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; 12:30-1:00 at Joe King Ball Park. Home delivery is available on request.
The Kitchen offers tasty, nutritious meals prepared and served by cooks and volunteers with ‘FoodSafe’ training. The service is financed by donations from the community of both food and money, the BC Gaming Commission, and Food Banks BC. We also receive support from United Way, Comox Valley Community Foundation, Comox Valley Regional District, Food Banks Canada, and Food Banks BC to purchase food and upgrade equipment.
