Group Service Project
Give back to the community at your next family night or youth group outing by spending time at Caring Kitchen. You could spend the evening making dinner or a morning serving breakfast for our residents at Caring Kitchen. We greatly appreciate all of the work done by our community and the volunteers who help us.
Please call ahead to make arrangements for your group.
Thanksgiving celebration
Caring Kitchen is able to serve lunch to any Champaign County resident on Thanksgiving Day each year thanks to our partnership with the Federation of Churches in St. Paris. Contact us in advance if you are unable to make it to our location and are in need of a meal delivery.
Please call us ahead of time if you are interested in volunteering to be a driver, cook, server, or participate with clean up.
