How it Started
The Kitchen, Inc. has a long history of serving our community. Sister Lorraine Biebel began the mission of The Kitchen, Inc. in 1983 when she served the first meal to the homeless and hungry. Since then, The Kitchen, Inc. has grown to one of the region’s largest social service providers for families, individuals, youth, seniors, and Veterans in need.
The Kitchen, Inc. continues to honor Sister Lorraine’s legacy through our vision of a community without homelessness. Learn more about our programs.
