You are welcome here.

Providing FOOD for people who are hungry, CONVERSATION for people who are lonely, REST for people who are struggling, and a VOICE for people in need.

The Community Kitchen believes everyone deserves access to food. Anyone can come during serving times to get a prepared meal. Dinner is served in our dining room, or if you would like food to go, visit the trailer in the parking lot. There guests can pick up the prepared meal and sustainable food bags for a grab and go option.

We are open 7 days a week

Dinner Service:

Monday - Friday 5:00-6:30pm

Saturday - Sunday 3:00-4:30pm

The Community Kitchen is located Downtown Loveland

427 Garfield Ave, Loveland, CO 80537

Over 100,000 Meals Served Annually

The Community Kitchen serves meals from its location and also works with other agencies in our community to ensure people have access to food. Meals are provided to support Salvation Army’s motel respite program, breakfast at the Loveland Resource Center, and other agencies providing food items.

The Community Kitchen is the only agency in Loveland open 7 days a week providing food to people experiencing food insecurity.

Volunteer at the Kitchen

Volunteers at the Community Kitchen support our program in a variety of ways.

The Community Kitchen is a preparatory kitchen and while we serve prepared meals, we do not cook the meals. We have a partnership with Meals on Wheels of Loveland and Berthoud and purchase at cost a protein, starch and vegetable for the daily main meal.

Volunteers distribute prepared meals and food bags to guests during serving times, prepare food items that do not require cooking (such as salads and sandwiches), assemble food bags, portion food into individual containers, pick up food items from retail stores and food banks, clean, sort donations and assist with some office work. Many opportunities require a weekly or monthly commitment, while there are also opportunities for one-time volunteering or more occasional.

To find out about our current opportunities, please contact us at 970-278-1726 or email at volunteer@lovelandscommunitykitchen.org
