The Friendly Kitchen is run by volunteers who plan the menus, prepare, cook and serve the food, and wash the dishes. Most food served is donated through food drives, area businesses, the NH Food Bank, the Capital Regional Food Program, the Community Action Program, the Local Harvest CSA, and from the volunteer serving groups.

Our commitment to the hungry and homeless is unwavering, but the support of friends is critical. Won’t you please help us help those in need? It is only with your assistance that our doors will continue to remain open. The Friendly Kitchen is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations and grants qualify as charitable contributions.

With continued and increased support from Greater Concord and beyond, the Friendly Kitchen will remain open well into the future.
