Northshore Community Kitchen Farewell

3/25/2019

 
Northshore Community Kitchen logo
On March 19, 2019, the Northshore Community Kitchen closed its doors after nearly seven years of serving its local community. The Northshore Community Kitchen, a partnership between Northshore Council PTSA and the Northshore YMCA, served as a wonderful resource for in-need families in our community since April 2012. Over the years, the program prepared packs and distributed around 45-50 ready-to-eat meals-to-go every Wednesday, year-round. Thanks to continuing support from some local businesses, PTAs, individual community members, and a terrific group of volunteers, they served a total of 14,023 meals! In addition, the Kitchen also supplied the Kenmore Library "Study Zone" program and Skyview Middle School's "Kitchen Table" homework club with snacks each week.

Northshore Community Kitchen worked to raise awareness about the food insecurity issues facing many of our neighbors and also took positive steps to do something about it.
Thank you to everyone who made the program such a success:
  • Volunteers-- including adults (PTA members and Y volunteers), Girl Scouts, Brownies, middle and high school students, and the United Rebels Soccer team.
  • Northshore Council PTSA leadership
  • Northshore YMCA leadership and Carol Edwards staff
  • PTAs that held food drives or gave financial support
  • Individual community members who donated food and contributed financially
  • NSD nurses, administrators, school board directors
  • Karen Orsinger, former NSD Partnerships Coordinator
  • Robert Hoffman, logo designer
  • HopeLink
  • Village Wines
  • Fairwinds Brittany Park
  • Trader Joe's (Everett)
  • Wellington Elementary Helping Hands Service Club
  • Farms for Life
  • Proven Bread
  • Woodinville Bagel Bakery
  • Woodinville Good Neighbors Group
Great gratitude as well to volunteer Sue Freeman, who organized and managed Northshore Community Kitchen operations on behalf of Northshore Council PTSA, dedicating years of service and care toward the program, its volunteers and those it served.
