Who We Are
MISSION STATEMENT
Women & Children's Free Restaurant & Community Kitchen (WCFR) provides a vital safety net that fills nutritional gaps for women and children in need while fostering dignity and respect, both within our restaurant and in the community.
We planned to serve 100,000 meals in 2020, but the needs of our community quickly changed at the onset of the pandemic. We serve over one million meals a year through our curbside services and partnerships with other nonprofit organizations. We serve our community with dignity and compassion guided by the belief that everyone deserves good nutrition.
What We Do
Women & Children's Free Restaurant & Community Kitchen (WCFR) offers two core programs. Meal and Grocery Distribution provides free nutritious, scratch-made meals, produce, dairy, proteins, and non-perishable items through contact-less curbside distribution, and Nutrition-to-Go (NTG), which distributes free, nutritious meals in collaboration with other community organizations. 75% of our NTG meals are consumed at homeless shelters and housing programs.
Our volunteers assist in various ways. Kitchen assistants, dishwashers, meal/grocery distributors, food packagers, and pick-up and delivery drivers are key positions. We have a well-established volunteer program with an incredible group of volunteers who support our mission and help make our work possible.
